Miami girl group the Diamonettes sang backup to a lot of mid 60s sessions, especially those held by Johnny Pearsall, Willie Clarke and Clarence Reid, but only had a couple of 45s under their own name. Rules Are Made To Be Broken is a pleasant easy paced number, but Don’t Be Surprised is the track for me. This ballad has some very tasteful chord changes, and the vocals are as hard hitting as anyone could wish for.
The Dig 45 was re-released on Alston but the tape that was used for the 45 was the one that the fine Miami vocalist Lynn Williams had recorded for Suncut - and that one was also wrongly used for the "Miami Soul Sisters" CD.
