Hip-ity Hop / Take Me Home With You

Released in 1963 on the Philadelphia-based Jamie label, this single represents a snapshot of the teenage pop vocal duos that populated the early sixties music scene. The Aubry Twins, consisting of sisters Patricia and Priscilla Aubry, were part of a label roster that famously included Duane Eddy, and their work was produced to fit the upbeat, harmony-driven aesthetic characteristic of the era's light pop and rock and roll output.

The A-side, 'Hip-ity Hop,' leans into the novelty-inflected dance crazes that were popular at the time, utilizing a bright, rhythmic arrangement intended to capture the attention of radio programmers and the burgeoning youth market. While the record did not achieve widespread commercial dominance, it serves as a distinct example of the industry's focus on vocal sibling acts, with the production emphasizing a polished sound that reflected the songwriting and studio techniques common to Jamie Records during that period.
