YVONNE AND YVETTE – THE SIAMESE TWINS (EP-156) 7"

After It’s All Over/He’s Sweet I Know/Your Mother/
We Are Workers For The Lord
Norton enters the gospel field with super scarce recordings by our favorite Siamese twins! Yvonne & Yvette spent many hard years as sideshow attractions, but were tapped by their church to go into the gospel field. These recordings were private pressings not made for public distribution, and include their raucous 60's pairing plus a sweet childhood chant and an unusual incantation by their mom, set to spook show organ grinding. Look for our Kicks Publishing Company scrapbook on the girls in the months to come! May they revel in posthumous glory always.
