    Firstly the artist credits here should be "Billy Ward And His Dominoes" as per the record--but since I'm just as guilty as Samp here (see below) let's pass on that one :)

    The Battles history on this one makes truly bizarre reading

    First it appeared--fleetingly--in the 1952 Singles Battle

    PRELIM
    11 Buddy Morrow - Night Train - RCA 4693
    9 The Dominoes - The Bells - Federal 12114

    Then later (just as fleetingly) in the Vocal Groups Encore Battle

    R1
    2 Billy Ward & His Dominoes -- The Bells -- Federal 12114 -- 1952
    9 The Clovers -- All About You -- Atlantic 1175 -- 1958

    SPONTANEOUS LUNACY VERDICT - 8/10
