Bo And Peep

About Bo And Peep

Bo and Peep were almost a parody act with a serious membership list. The truth is that Bo & Peep was a one-shot offshoot of Andrew Loog Olham's efforts at establishing a Phil Spector-type music factory, possibly from the same sessions on which Gene Pitney andPhil spector hooked up withthe Rolling Stones for the latter's official recordings ("Now I've Got a Witness" etc.). The Rolling Stones played behind Bo & Peep on "Young Love," and Kim Fowley was the lead singer on "Rise of the Brighton Surf." "Young Love" was the Sonny James hit, while "Brighton Surf" is a savage parody of The Animals' "House of the Rising Sun." Bo & Peep were no more than a brief vignette at the outset ofStones' history, in their first full year as a recording act and would-be rivals to The Beatles. There's no mistaking the playing behind "Young Love," and completists can only ponder what other products of those Oldham-exploitation sessions remain in the can?
