Two-Way-Poc-A-Way / What Kind of Fool [7"]

After their Red Bird hits including 'Iko Iko', New Orleans girl group The Dixie Cups moved to ABC, and 'Two-Way-Poc-A-Way' was their first release there: another Mardi Gras-flavoured track, even more steeped in native New Orleans rhythm. Judged too far out at the time, it missed the charts, but its deep groove and echoing vocals later made it a cult favourite with collectors and DJs.
