The Cresendos formed in 1965 in Wanganui. They were spotted by Allied's recording chief Fred Noad at a Wanganui talent quest in 1966 and signed up. In early 1967 they released their one and only single, comprising of two originals, "Now She's Mine" / "I Want Your Love" on Allied International.


The group's name is spelt wrong on the label. It shouldn't have the "c".

The Cresendos can also be found on the following compilations:-
