In the summer of 1958, Herb and Hal Kalin - aka The Kalin Twins - were flavour-of-the-month with the multi-million-selling, worldwide smash hit 'When'. It reached #5 in the US and topped the UK charts for 4 weeks, following which they toured the UK, topping the bill over a newly-emergent Cliff Richards & The Drifters (who were just breaking with 'Move It').

Although The Kalins subsequently made the US charts with follow-ups like 'Forget Me Not', 'It's Only The Beginning' and 'Sweet Sugar Lips', they were unable to consolidate and by the mid-60s they'd called it a day.

This 33 track compilation comprises their eponymously titled LP from 1958, plus all their significant 45 releases between 1957-1962, including their superb, yet often overlooked US cover of Joe Browns UK #1 'A Picture Of You'.

Several of these sides are serious collectors' rarities, unavailable elsewhere on CD.
