1965 On the heels of recording a live album of Broadway tunes , Valli, Crewe, and Gaudio had planned on recording an album consisting entirely of songs written by Bob Dylan, but as recording progressed, the concept was modified to include songs by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Valli was not happy with his vocals on the various takes of Dont Think Twice, Its All Right when he decided to record the song with a joke falsetto vocal to reduce the tension in the studio. An executive of Philips Records heard a replay of the recording with a joke vocal and wanted it to be released as a single — Two years earlier, Peter, Paul, and Mary had reached the #9 position on the Hot 100 with their version of the song — but the recording by Valli and the band could not be released as either a Valli solo single or a Four Seasons single. Sold in a picture sleeve with a connect the dots puzzle, the record with the truncated name (Dont Think Twice) was released as by The Wonder Who? in November 1965.
