This record is a 1975 reissue of Zip-A-Dee Doo Dah, the only studio album by Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans, originally released in 1963 by Philles Records. “Jimmy Baby” got replaced with “Not Too Young To Get Married” and the track order was rearranged. It was issued as the second volume of the nine LP “Wall of Sound” box set, completed in 1981.

Cover design by Grant Smith at WadeWood Associates, with art direction from Ian Murray, featuring a reproduction of the original cover, surrounded by photographs and newspaper clippings. The band name is shown in Filmotype Morocco, an animated slab serif from the late 1950s. The bounciness is further increased by a drop shadow filled with Ben Day dots. Other fonts in use include Eurostile Light Extended and Akzidenz-Grotesk Condensed. The rounded sans used for “Phil Spector Wall of Sound Vol. 2” is yet unidentified.
