Overview

Understand / Lackadaisical Me --- 1962-12-00

"Understand" had originally been released in April 1958 on Fee Bee 223 with no group credited. according to Marv Goldberg: Now we have to deal with Buddy Carle & the Del Vikings. Back in 1956, Buddy Carle (real name Carl William Hirce) had the very first release on Fee Bee: "Tender Words" (before the label even had the cute bee logo). In April 1958, this kinda "teen idol" had a record on Fee Bee #223 called "Understand." It had a very understated and not terribly interesting group that wasn't credited on the label. (The flip, "Talk About Love" doesn't have a group.) At that point, remember, the Del Vikings' contract with Fee Bee had expired. However, as was noted above with the Frank Joseph sides, Averbach still utilized various members for background purposes. Was the group behind Carle really the Del Vikings? I doubt it, although some of them might have been present.
