In the 50's the Versatones did a record on the All Star label called
Bila. In the early 60's the Versatiles did a record on Ro-Cal called
Lundee Dundee. To me they sound similar enough to be the same group, or
at least the same lead. Does anyone have any info on either of these
groups?

Two Different Groups. At one time I thought the same until I had
contact with someone at Atlantic in the early 70s.
The VERSATILES

Peacock 1910 "Just Words"/"The White Cliffs Of Dover" (1962)
Ramco 3717 "Blue Feelin' "/"Just Pretending" (1962)

The VERSATONES

That would explain some things. I had a theory that the label had
misspelled "Baila"(dance) as "Bila". Well I at least know the subject
matter now. Thanks, Steve!
