"The Krunch" / "The Climb"

MISC NOTES:

"The Krunch" was commissioned as a jingle for a corporate potato-chip ad campaign. This was the sole Kingsmen 45 to be issued in the U.S. with a picture sleeve. Kingsmen personnel were  in transition during this period, so front sleeve musicians not  the same as those shown on back sleeve.

NOTE:  "The Krunnch" picture sleeve (front photo only), has been reproduced as an, after-market "Louie Louie" picture sleeve:   The KINGSMEN  featuring the original recording of the International Hit, "LOUIE LOUIE".
