ORIGINAL LINER NOTES

In the square and around Cambridge the new sound in singing groups is that of the Krokodiloes. The name is derived from one of the emblems of the Hasty Pudding Institute of 1770 which has sponsored the group since it's beginning in the early 1940's. That beginning was a shaky one. Only one man has been found who recalls the establishment of the Krokodiloes-he voted against the choice of the present name. Since 1946, when they first began to appear in public, the Kroks have undergone a continual musical growth. This recording is the first to appear in four years and represents the latest stage in the group's musical developement. Not all the songs in this album are new, nor are they alike. Whether your tastes incline to old favorites like 'Sweet Georgia Brown' or to the more modern 'Little Girl Blue,' folk songs, or the outrageous 'Sweet Thursday,' you'll find the Krokodiloes offer a fresh and exciting musical experience.

ET CETERA

Mark Robinson's dad George Robinson was a member of the group and sings lead vocal on 'Sweet Georgia Brown'.

The Krokodiloes still exist: 'The Harvard Krokodiloes, Harvard University's oldest and most prestigious a cappella singing group, perform popular music from the 1920's, 30's, 40's, 50's, and 60's. Founded at the Hasty Pudding Club in 1946, they tour the United States and the world, twelve tuxedo-clad undergraduates singing jazz, swing, ballads, and rock from America's Golden Age.'
