ET CETERA

This is William & Vivian's only recording. It was originally released only on cassette.

The catalog printed on the cassette insert lists two (then) upcoming Teenbeat releases that later had different catalog numbers and titles when they were released: Teenbeat 6 'Chuck Cline' LP with DVS, Unrest, & Jeff (this compliation concept evolved into Teenbeat 11 titled 'The Trouble with Harry'). and Teenbeat 8 'Unrest (2nd LP)' was released as Teenbeat 6 with the title 'Lisa Carol Freemont' or 'L.C.F.'

'Teen (Beat) Love' is a cover version of No Trend's 'Teen Love'

'You Can't Always Get What You Want' was originally recorded by the Rolling Stones

'Georgy Girl' was originally recorded by the The Seekers

'The Candy Man' was originally recorded for the film 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. It was performed by Sammy Davis, Jr.

'Feelings' was originally recorded by Gemini

Though the album was released to the public on June 7th, the cassette insert lists the date 'troisime de juin' (June 3rd); most likely the original intended release date

This release contains an Official TeenBeat Membership Card

This release also contains a 'Kim Says Hi!' insert

The last track is a snipped of the song "Lovers' Concerto" by Enoch Light and His Orchestra taped off the radio (most likely Washington, DC's WGAY-FM). The original of this track was not known to the band until 2017.

The band was named after the two supporting actors in the 1950's television series, 'I Love Lucy' and was inspired partially by the then popular 'Fred and Ginger' t-shirts which featured Fred Flintstone and Ginger Rogers dancing together.

The Teenbeat logo on the original edition was outlined. Later editions have it filled in and also with the "sports stripe" which was not used until Teenbeat 6. A P - performance copyright symbol was added and the catlalog number 3, re-drawn

The album title, "Fly to France," was not on the original insert suggesting that it was initially a self-titled album. Some of the original inserts also featured an image of the poster for the film Georgy Girl, which does not appear on later editions.
