the group switched to the celeste label in 1955 and were joined by arthur crier and gary morrison. after recording two more singles, and quite a few songs that were never released, they switched labels again: this time to candlelight, where things only got worse. leach's name was misprinted as "lillian lee" on the group's first single with candlelight. on their second, leach was reduced to singing backup for carl spencer. finally, in 1958, the mellows recorded two more tracks for apollo records, "so strange" and "be mine", which were never released. with almost nothing to show for their years of hard work, the group broke up in 1958.
