Can't Hardly Stand It - Charlie Feathers
Its OK but is my least favorite of the 1956 Feathers releases
1. One Hand Loose
2. Bottle To The Baby
3. Tongue Tied Jill
4. Get With It
5. Everybody's Lovin' My Baby
6. Can't Hardly Stand It
Castle In The Sky - Bop-Chords
Super NYC 1950's uptempo doowop at its best!!
I Put A Spell On You - Screamin' Jay Hawkins
Always preferred the "Little Demon" flip myself
Friendly Persuasion (Thee I Love) - Pat Boone
At last Dot match Boone up with a song ideally suited to his singing
style. Not exactly my cup of tea butthere's no doubt its much more
suited to him than the Little Richard material and other r&b stuff Dot
had him do
Don't Knock The Rock - Bill Haley & Comets
Title song from the inevitable Haley-led followup movie. Of course by
this time Elvismania was in full swing and Haley was the proverbial
dead man walking
Could It Be You - Four Tops
Yes they ARE the very same! Although they'd appeared on record already
(as The Four Aims) the title mentioned here WAS the first record
released as credited to "The Four Tops" . And by Chess Records no
less. With a super uptempo flip "Kiss Me Baby" too!
My Prayer - Platters
Now just WHAT contest have I seen this in lately?
Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind - Five Keys
Thanks to lack of a proper licensing agreement NONE of their previous
Aladdin releases made it to these shores meaning that "Ling Ting Tong"
on Capitol became their UK debut record (and then only on a 78!)
Stutterin' Papa - Buck Griffin
Another HUGE favorite on the London rock 'n'roll circuit when it was
repro'd in the 70's thanks to Uncle Henry
Please Don't Leave Me - Johnny Burnette Trio
Wonder who the first person on this newsgroup was to ever hear this
previously unreleased recording when the "Tear It Up" LP was put
together for UK Decca? :-)
