The Crescents
Mr. Blue
Single AU 1959 on Teen Records label
Rock and Pop (Vocal, Ballad, Doo-Wop)
“The group performing “Mr Blue” on the Teen TC-008 single is NOT The Crescents, but a US group - THE DREAMERS. Their version was originally recorded for US Bell Records (Bell #126). The link between both record companies lies with Lyal Richardson, who formed the Teen label in Australia in 1959. Richardson also held the local rights to Bell in Australia. It is unclear why Richardson put The Crescents name on the Teen single as they were never part of his record company. The Crescents version of “Mr Blue” was recorded for, and issued on Leedon Records (single # LS-581) also in 1959, however it is totally different to The Dreamers’ version on Teen. He also moved up the tempo on the Teen version by around 10 secs compared to the original US release, however whether this was intentional or otherwise remains a mystery.
