Not to be confused with Dick Dale and the Del Tones. There were a number of group calling themselves the Del Tones around the country. There is no information concerning this rockabilly outfit who must have been regional to Georgia. Their label Peach Records was from Douglasville, Georgia. Writing credit to “Green Front Boogie” is attributed to R. Walker. Give it a listen. Sounds good. The rare 45 is valued at $100.

Did a little digging, and found out this was one of the "custom" labels for Starday. It's mentioned a couple of times in my friend's book about Starday Records. I will ask him if he knows anything about this particular group of Del-Tones when I see him at the conference next month.
Fun song, should have been a hit. It fit perfectly with the rockabilly of the day.
