bill mann 17th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Elmore James - The Best Of Elmore James	Did Jimi always dress like that ?
bill mann 17th Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Elmore James - The Best Of Elmore James	My mate, Ken bought this one. Back then, us Brits had no idea what he looked like, no photos, nothing except his great music. There was another LP on Sue, but still no photo.
bill mann 16th Feb 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Calling All Rock 'n' Roll Collectors Volume 3	Pretty Boy is Don Covay Rudy Gray is Rudy Grayzell Niki Sullivan ex Crickets Several more are well known by their mams & dads & by Rockabilly fans.
bill mann 14th Feb 2015		78 RPM Frankie Lee Sims - Walking With Frankie / Hey Little Girl	I don't think Freddie would have heard of Frankie, never mind hearing the record. After all Thornton's record was a real big seller, with cover versions from all over The States.
bill mann 13th Feb 2015		78 RPM Frankie Lee Sims - Walking With Frankie / Hey Little Girl	Two terrific rockin' sides from the great and vastly underated Frankie Lee Sims.
bill mann 5th Feb 2015		78 RPM Billy Starr - Hound Dog / Borrowed Heart	Ha ha ! Here's another, I'm gonna get some stick here, I like Freddie's version better than Elvis', no bloody Jordanaires ! Best version by a country mile is Big Mama's, a really great record.
bill mann 4th Feb 2015		78 RPM Billy Starr - Hound Dog / Borrowed Heart	Surely Elvis based his version on Freddie Bell's cut
bill mann 3rd Feb 2015		78 RPM Memphis Slim And His House Rockers - Messin' Around / Midnight Jump	Slim's best work (IMHO) was for United, with the great Matt Murphy on guitar.
bill mann 2nd Feb 2015		Vinyl Album Gene Vincent And His Blue Caps - Bluejean Bop!	Different (but similar) front sleeve to all other world wide issues !
bill mann 29th Jan 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Juke Joint Boogie	I got my copy as a 'freebie' with 'Now Dig This' magazine. A promo sampler from Bear Family
bill mann 21st Jan 2015		Vinyl Album Hank Ballard And The Midnighters - 20 Hits: All Their Chart Hits (1953-1962)	One of the unsung heroes of rock 'n' roll !
bill mann 19th Jan 2015		Vinyl Album The Oscar Peterson Trio - Night Train	Here's another needs correcting :- Shouldn't title of B1 be 'Honeydripper' as noted on the label
bill mann 18th Jan 2015		78 RPM Slim Rhodes - Do What I Do / Take And Give	Agreed, got the 45.
bill mann 16th Jan 2015		78 RPM Slim Rhodes - Gonna Romp And Stomp / Bad Girl	Hot Top side, piss poor B-side.
bill mann 15th Jan 2015		Vinyl Album Johnny Cash - American IV: The Man Comes Around	I agree, met Johnny a few times in the 60s & 70s, when he was a still big fine chap, to see him in that video was very sad & upsetting to say the least, it almost had me in tears.
bill mann 14th Jan 2015		78 RPM Little Esther - Other Lips, Other Arms / The Deacon Moves In	Top side [with the Dominoes] is one of my all time favourites. if this is not rock n roll, then what is ?
bill mann 14th Jan 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Wild Original Rock And Roll	Bourbon for me, Neil, 100 proof Wild Turkey whenever possible
bill mann 13th Jan 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Wild Original Rock And Roll	Just as an afterthought RC, Is it the top line on the front sleeve that made your spec-savers moment ? It certainly gave me one.
bill mann 13th Jan 2015		78 RPM John Lee Hooker And His Guitar - Sally May / Boogie Chillen'	Bill, I agree 100% about remakes, had the Vee-Jay cut on a Stateside EP about 50 years back, and it's also a goodie. Johnny Guitar Watson's recut of 'Gangster of Love' on King in the 60s is the exception to the rule being far better & tougher than his original 50s cut.
bill mann 12th Jan 2015		78 RPM The Coasters - The Shadow Knows / Sorry But I'm Gonna Have To Pass	tony p, I own a copy, is it a valuable one ?
bill mann 12th Jan 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Wild Original Rock And Roll	It's all a matter of preference surely ! I like same artists on consecutive tracks. Am I right or are you right Neil ?
bill mann 12th Jan 2015		78 RPM John Lee Hooker And His Guitar - Sally May / Boogie Chillen'	'Boogie Chillen' is JLH at his very best, he came close many times, but this is a real cracker !
bill mann 22nd Dec 2014		Vinyl Album Bo Diddley - Have Guitar, Will Travel	Blimey ! I've had this LP for about 50 years and only just spotted that side 1 has only 5 tracks.
bill mann 18th Nov 2014		Vinyl Album Johnny Cash - Now, There Was A Song!	Bill, this is a great LP, so different from his norm. Loved it as soon as I heard it round a pal's place, and bought a copy as soon as I could.
bill mann 3rd Nov 2014		Vinyl Album Jerry Lee Lewis - Roots	Jerry performed 'Blue moon of Kentucky' at the 'Marimba' in Middlesbrough in October/November 1966' and introduced it as Elvis Presley's first record.
bill mann 3rd Oct 2014		Vinyl Album Little Richard - Little Richard Volume 2	Black label copy with boxed logo on ebay at the moment.
bill mann 29th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Clyde McPhatter - Clyde McPhatter's Greatest Hits	Blimey, They never learn do they, barely any of the 50s rock n rollers ever improved on any of their original cuts. Only one springs to mind, Johnny Guitar Watson's 60s recut of 'Gangster of love, on King, which is far superior to his 50s cut. I have a cheapo rock n roll cd, bought for the car. All good well known songs, the Sun stuff is fine, but there are about 4 or 5 Little Richard recuts of his Specialty masterpieces which are unbelievably bad with saxes that should be heard behind Otis Redding or Arthur Conley and the like, not good, no solid Specialty style riffing anywhere to be heard.
bill mann 20th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Fats Domino - Rock And Rollin' With Fats Domino	Autographed by Fats in 1967.
bill mann 20th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Charlie Feathers - Good Rockin' Tonight	Bought this one about 1974/5, not got it now. Mine was a Brown/Beige front & back sleeve. Typical Feathers of the period, a bit hit & miss. Mostly miss !
bill mann 12th Aug 2014		Vinyl Album Jack Scott - What Am I Living For	There's a copy on ebay now. Several in fact.
