Cuddlebug is the second studio album by the Simon Sisters, released by Kapp Records, in 1966.

Contents

The masters for the songs were recorded during the Meet the Simon Sisters sessions two years earlier. The album was produced by up-and-coming music producer at the time, Jo Siopis. Siopis brought a raw and uncompromising merseybeat rock style to the Simon Sisters' record, having been clearly influenced by her earlier work on the Gerry & The Pacemakers album How Do You Like It?.[ citation needed ]

In 2006, Hip-O-Select re-released the album, along with Meet the Simon Sisters, as the single disc "Winkin', Blinkin' and Nod: The Kapp Recordings".
