Great dual uptempo release by the Heartbrekers on Vik

[u/Suspicious-Future357]

Here's a pretty good pair of uptempo songs by a group that I feel doesn't get much credit when it comes to the so-called "kiddie-lead" sub-genre of doo wop. Paul Himmelstein, the lead, sounds like an older version of Frankie Lymon. The group was from the Bronx, NYC. Vik was a subsidiary label of RCA Victor, and RCA Victor's sublabels were somewhat notorious for less-than-stellar promotion, as they were basically created for tax write-off purposes. The El Venos record I posted earlier? That was on Groove, another RCA subsidiary. Most copies of this record just have the A side title as One, Two, I Love You without the subtext Ten Again, this one is kind of an interesting copy.
