Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye

The Casinos Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye b/w I Still Love You 45 (Fraternity, 1967)
I guess you can call this a "golden oldie," though like many an oldie the Casinos' biggest hit is just another single buried in a pile of records, waiting for some schmoe to dig it up and discover it for him/herself. There are hundreds of songs like this, minor hits that get a second life on oldies radio, maybe a third on some collection of lowrider songs, and perhaps a forth on a PBS oldies telecast. While "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye" is a very nice song, I dig the flip, a solid mid-tempo Vegas soul song with some sweat Latin horns.
