The Hi-Lo’s were a vocal quartet formed in 1953, who achieved their greatest fame in the late 1950s and 1960s. The group’s name is reportedly a reference to their extreme vocal and physical ranges (Bob Strasen and Bob Morse were tall, Gene Puerling and Clark Burroughs were short). This compilation is in fact a reissue of two albums of The Hi-Lo’s, “I Presume” (1955) and “In Stereo” (1959). First one is in mono, second one in stereo. For obscure reasons, the tracklistings of both LP’s have been put in reverse order. Strangely too, the last track of “I Presume”, “Shoeless Joe” is not included on that reissue.
