SPONTANEOUS LUNACY VERDICT: 4/10

Oh, come on! It's better than that. I included it on my list of 1952 Favorites.

It's WAY better than that. I've got a 9.

Another ridiculous grading (both sides on this are great but I give this one the edge)

Here's my personal gradings for the 1952 Checkers singles

Oh Oh Oh Baby - 8
Night's Curtains - 8
Flame In My Heart - 8
Let Me Come Back - 7
