ANDY DOLL AND THE TRIO
Pigtails (101-B)

Note: Label has been mutilated and the word “Andy’s” handwritten above RIDGE RIDERS, thus suggesting that the label should have been called ANDY’S RIDGE RIDERS. Having never seen another copy of the record I cannot relate what wording is missing from the label scan shown here. RIDGE RIDERS 101 is a Research Craft pressing.
