Noel Widerberg who was the writer of the song "Tonight"and the lead singer of the Delltones at the time, although not depicted in the photo shot on the cover of this ep, was killed in an auto wreck soon after this recording in the Sydney beachside suburbs of either Ramsgate or Brighton-Le-Sands. The group with different members exist's till this day.

The Delltones have been entertaining Australian audiences for over five decades with their most successful recording years in the 1960s. Ian ‘Peewee’ Wilson is the only current member from the original line-up. In the mid-1980s he transformed the group from a vocal quartet, to a five-piece vocal band. This along with other stylistic changes led to the band’s resurgence and the chart topping, rock ‘n roll revival album, Bop Til Ya Drop. The band remains as one of the most consistent live entertainers in Australia, with arguably the longest performing and recording history for a vocal harmony band with an original member.

By the latter part of 1963 surf music dominated the Australian Charts, particularly in Sydney and Brisbane. The Delltones were quick to release the tongue in cheek composition, “Hangin’ Five”, written by Ben Acton. This release was almost as successful as “Come A Little Bit Closer” – reaching number 3. “Hangin’ Five” became a cult classic in California along with The Atlantics instrumental “Bombora”. “Hangin’ Five” also featured in Mel Gibson’s first movie, Summer City, released in 1977. That year The Delltones picked up four radio awards including “Gold and Silver Baton Awards,” “Golden Microphone Award” and “The Best Australian Record Award”.
