The Duprees were the last stars for the label, a Jersey City quintet that specialized in smooth remakes of 1940s and 1950s pop tunes (George Paxton's influence again, perhaps?). They placed seven hits on the national charts for Coed starting in summer, 1962. Their biggest hits were "You Belong To Me" [Coed 569], a remake of a Jo Stafford hit from ten years earlier, "My Own True Love" [Coed 571], a reworking of "Tara's Theme" from the 1939 movie "Gone with the Wind", and two songs made popular in the 1950s by Joni James, "Why Don't You Believe Me" [Coed 584] and "Have You Heard" [Coed 585]. Group members were Joey Vann [Joseph Canzano], Mike Amone, Tom Bialablow, John Salvato, and Joe Santollo. After Coed shut down, they moved to Columbia briefly and charted with "Around the Corner" [Columbia 43336] in 1965. In the late 1960s, the group recorded under the name "The Italian Asphalt and Paving Co." and had a minor hit with "Check Yourself" [Colossus 110].

Much of the Coed material was recorded in stereo, but didn't appear in that mode until 1990, when Little Walter DeVenne and Bob Hyde produced greatest hits packages for the Crests and Duprees for the Rhino label, and Little Walter's later Rivieras package for Relic. Since that time, the material has been reissued several times. Most notable among these are the reissues on Ace (UK), and several of the Coed LPs reissued on CD for the Sundazed label a couple of years ago, which recreated how the original albums might have sounded in stereo.
