This blog has already featured a fake little girl singing songs about Jesus, so how about the real thing this time? This 'do-it-yourself' 7" EP includes no information at all: no record label, no credits, not even the girls' last names. One important piece of info is provided, however, on the back cover:
Clever! Yes, the backs of their flips are magnificent, and truly Condi would be jealous. But that's it; that's all we get to go on. And given that hairdo fashions change much slower over time in the Christian world than in the real world, I'm completely unable to determine when this rare gem was recorded. I'll use museum dating standards and say this is ca. 1960/1970. And the music? Oh, it's strictly amateur hour, but there's a church assembly rawness which I find endlessly appealing. It's just two untalented girls with a clumsy pianist in an echoey room. Enjoy!

From the flip itself, I think about 1962... although it isn't unusual for people singing songs to Jesus to keep these classic hairdos long after the trends have changed.
Of course,there is the possibility that the flip is older than the girls wearing it....
I think the flip persisted well into the late 60s for young girls, though. Especially behind the Christian Curtain.
Ah...the music is as perky as the 'do's!
There could be a great cottage industry: poor people growing flippable hair and selling it to Christians who don't have the right stuff. As Condi has shown us, it's never too late for a flip.
I am certain we can trace at least a quarter of the ozone’s deterioration to Sandra ‘n’ Cindy’s Aquanet flips. Marlo Thomas has to claim responsibility for her own role as well.
Oh, that poor Cindy's got a jacked-up grille. I hope Jesus the Orthodontist paid her a visit.
I can't bring myself to listen...
i don't know why i can't see that album cover and not see hanson in flip wigs.
If Cheney heard the girls off to the side while hunting, I can understand why he pulled the trigger.
