Roy Chew & The Merrylads Oh Pretty Woman / Mexico Singapore Philips 7" Single 45 (MEP508)

Roy Chew & The Merrylads — Oh, Pretty Woman / Mexico (Philips, Singapore)

Roy Chew & The Merrylads were one of Singapore’s most popular beat groups of the 1960s, signed to Philips Records Singapore during the height of the local beat scene. This 7" single pairs two popular covers — Roy Orbison’s Oh, Pretty Woman and the Latin-flavoured Mexico — in classic 1960s Singapore beat group style. A genuine official Philips pressing on the iconic blue label, with the original anti-piracy notice on the sleeve: “This record, bearing the blue label with the well-known Philips trade-mark, guarantees a genuine Philips recording.”
