    Here's how this Orioles number did (or rather DIDN'T) in the 1952
    Singles Battle

    PRELIM
    9 Billy Eckstine - Kiss Of Fire - MGM 11225
    8 The Orioles - Bar Fly - Jubilee 5084

    WTF???

    Bit better result in the later Vocal Group Encore Battle

    R1
    1 The Dreamers -- These Things I Miss -- Jubilee 5053 -- 1951
    7 The Orioles -- Bar Fly -- Jubilee 5084 -- 1952

    R2
    5 The Robins -- Ten Days In Jail -- RCA 47-5489 -- 1953
    4 The Orioles -- Bar Fly -- Jubilee 5084 -- 1952

    SPONTANEOUS LUNACY VERDICT: 7/10

    It's an 8 on my list

    I have a 3-CD Orioles anthology, but this track isn't on it. First time I've heard it. 7/10 sounds about right.
