Lynn Mason - "Some Of These Days" b/w "Baby Won't You Please Come Home" (1959)

On Wednesdays we will feature a Philly 45 that has very little, if any, background information.

Today's single comes from Lynn Mason.  It was released in 1959 on Best Records.  There were only 4 releases on this label, two by The Dialtones (formerly The Kids on RCA), one by The Premiers (also on Mink and Parkway) and this one by Lynn Mason.  The label is based out of South Philadelphia and was owned by Frank Alper, Lynn Mason's husband.  It's been assumed by local record collectors for years that she is also Marilyn Mason on Penn, a 45 that I've yet to run across in travels.  Both sides here feature arrangements by Russ Faith, a highly respected band leader, arranger and vocal coach.  Russ would take over the musical duties at Chancellor Records, which we heard about with Mona Carol and Jodie Sands, when Pete DeAngelis departed the label a few years after this release.  These two sides are rounded out with a nice male quartet backing Mason up.  No pictures are known to exist of her.
