Above: Label image of Aladdin 3170 recorded on November 23, 1952 and released in December 1952. This was The Sha-Weez' only release on Aladdin. Edgar "Big Boy" Miles is the lead singer on both sides, with James "Sugar Boy" Crawford doing the "talking/sobbing" part on "No One To Love Me." Members of the vocal portion of the group composed both sides, with "Crawford" added as the fourth composer on the flip.The Billboard Review (4/4/53):
THE SHA-WEEZ - ALADDIN 3170
Early Sunday Morning (79) The Sha-Weez, new group on the label, come thru with a sock reading of a strong new ballad, backed with a hefty beat by the ork. The group sings well and has a good commercial sound. This side could be a coin-grabber with exposure.
No One To Love Me (72) The Sha-Weez turn in an effective performance on this side, but the material is much weaker than the flip.(NOTE: A ratings range of 70-79 was considered "good.")
