bill mann 28th Mar 2013		78 RPM Rubber Legs Williams - That's The Stuff You Got To Watch / Pointless Mama Blues	Mickey - All of Rubberlegs recordings are on Blue Moon cd - BMCD 6011 ' Obscure Blues Shouters' from Barcelona. A great cd, dunno if it's still available, I've had it for some time. Well worth seeking out.
bill mann 26th Mar 2013		78 RPM Hank Williams - Your Cheatin' Heart / A Teardrop On A Rose	Note, no mention of 'Drifting Cowboys'
bill mann 10th Mar 2013		78 RPM Billy Cotton - The Dam Busters March / Bring Your Smile Along	Finally got to listen to this, brought back some memories, thanks sid
bill mann 8th Mar 2013		78 RPM Little Esther And Bobby Nunn - Saturday Night Daddy / Mainliner	Great two sider from the always reliable Esther. try 'The deacon moves in' by Esther and the Dominoes for great rock n roll, Fabulous record, and well inside my top ten of all time
bill mann 6th Mar 2013		78 RPM The Penguins - Earth Angel / Hey Senorita	Also issued as silver top 78. It's on ebay at the moment
bill mann 4th Mar 2013		78 RPM Billy Cotton - The Dam Busters March / Bring Your Smile Along	We had this in our house. I remember the cockpit chatter from the crew
bill mann 4th Mar 2013		78 RPM Jimmy Preston And His Prestonians - Rock The Joint / Drinking Woman	The topside is a well covered song, I think this [the original] is the best by a street. Chris Powell and the Five Blue Flames do a good version on OKeh. This is a good song, and in all honesty, I like every version I've heard.
bill mann 26th Feb 2013		78 RPM Billy Wright - Stacked Deck / Mercy, Mercy	molemilton, I'd go as far to say Billy never made a bad record. 'Billy's boogie blues' & 'Married woman's boogie' also on Savoy are brilliant rockers with terrific clanking boogie piano.
bill mann 25th Feb 2013		78 RPM Ted Weems - Jiminy Cricket / Monstro The Whale	Flea - All depends if you've paid your electricity bill.
bill mann 25th Feb 2013		78 RPM Ted Weems - Jiminy Cricket / Monstro The Whale	Jock_Girl - Keep licking the sticker till it's wet right through and gently peel it back a bit at a time with your fingernail, keep licking till it's all removed.They all come off eventually. Lighter fuel sometimes works, also Good for 45s
bill mann 25th Feb 2013		78 RPM Charlie Gracie - Fabulous / Just Lookin'	A belated agreement with camshaft, a 'I had this once' or whatever, button is a good idea
bill mann 20th Feb 2013		78 RPM Billy Boy - I Wish You Would / I Was Fooled	Top class double sider from Bill Boy Arnold.
bill mann 20th Feb 2013		78 RPM Elvis Presley - Heartbreak Hotel / I Was The One	'Heartbreak Hotel' composer 'Axpon' ???
bill mann 20th Feb 2013		78 RPM Jimmie Rodgers - Rodgers' Puzzle Record / Let Me Be Your Side Track	I have a couple of books on Jimmie. One has a photo of 'The Jimmie Rodgers Picture Disc' Anyone got this ?
bill mann 20th Feb 2013		78 RPM Louis Jordan And His Tympany Five - Ain't That Just Like A Woman (They'll Do It Every Time) / If It's Love You Want Baby, That's Me	Fats Domino cut a great version of the top side, also I think Chuck Berry [who dug Louis] was taking note of guitarist Carl Hogan's intro and made it his own.
bill mann 19th Feb 2013		78 RPM Jimmie Rodgers - My Old Pal / Daddy And Home	Hi molemilton, Met Jerry Lee on several occasions and one time he actually stated your 'quote', this would be in the mid 60s. Don't think much of Al, but 3 outa 4 ain't bad.
bill mann 19th Feb 2013		78 RPM Jimmie Rodgers - My Old Pal / Daddy And Home	These Jimmie Rodgers Zonophones are really attractive. Jerry Lee Lewis loved him and cut many of his songs including 'My old Pal' and turned it into a real belter without losing any of the song's character. I don't have any of Jimmies 78s, but have a cd boxset and an HMV EP. He sure wrote and recorded some really good stuff in his short life.
bill mann 12th Feb 2013		78 RPM Moon Mullican - Yearning (Just For You) / Put Your Arms Around Me Honey	Mickey, on 'Seven nights to rock' Moon is backed by Boyd Bennett's Rockets, so it's not your typical Moon. As far as Amos is concerned, he can do no wrong for me, I've got the Mosaic box of his Aladdin stuff and named one of my West Highland Terriers after him. The other one, Jake is named after Jake La Motta.
bill mann 11th Feb 2013		78 RPM Moon Mullican - Yearning (Just For You) / Put Your Arms Around Me Honey	Mickey, yes I'm sure he influenced JLL, who mentioned Moon on his dates at Tito's nightspot in Stockton on his 1966 tour. My favourite Moon track is 'Seven nights to rock', very similar in content to 'Livin' like a king' by Memphis Slim on Peacock.
bill mann 11th Feb 2013		78 RPM Little Willie John - Fever / Letter From My Darling	Fever is a classic, and just about his best track. I'm told Eddie Cochran did this on his UK tour, anyone confirm ?
bill mann 3rd Feb 2013		78 RPM Johnny Fuller - Don't Slam That Door / Restless	Got this one on 45
bill mann 30th Jan 2013		78 RPM Louis Jordan And His Tympany Five - That Chick's Too Young To Fry / Choo Choo Ch'Boogie	Great record, even greater label !
bill mann 29th Jan 2013		78 RPM Jackie Brenston And His Delta Cats - My Real Gone Rocket / Tuckered Out	I like this better than 'Rocket 88' especially the way the sax solo takes off, just brilliant !
bill mann 29th Jan 2013		78 RPM Joe Clay - Sixteen Chicks / Duck Tail	Me too ! The tracks with Mickey Baker playing lead are just tremendous, with superb driving solos from Mickey
bill mann 28th Jan 2013		78 RPM Sonny Fisher - Rockin' Daddy / Hold Me Baby	Another nice one ! This is the best version of this oft recorded song, all Sonny's Stardays have real good guitar by Joey Long. Note the date too, real early, less than a year after Elvis's first record.
bill mann 28th Jan 2013		78 RPM Bobby Charles - One Eyed Jack / Yea Yea Baby	These Chess 78 labels are great are they not? I agree with Mickey about the cd of Bobby's Chess stuff. I have all Bobby's Chess 45s, all well played, and all still have better sound than the cd.
bill mann 28th Jan 2013		78 RPM Mac Curtis - If I Had Me A Woman / Just So You Call Me	Nice one !
bill mann 25th Jan 2013		78 RPM Sonny Burgess - Restless / Ain't Got A Thing	Another killer diller from Sonny. this was the first Sonny Burgess record I bought [45 copy] back in 1964/5, paid 15 bob for it in an auction, been a big fan ever since.
bill mann 25th Jan 2013		78 RPM "Sonny Boy" Williamson - She Brought Life Back To The Dead / Gettin' Out Of Town	I think Sonny Boy's best sides were cut for Trumpet, I like 'em better than the Checker stuff a few years later, and they're pretty damn good also.
bill mann 24th Jan 2013		78 RPM Jack Scott - My True Love / Leroy	What a boringly plain label, not much imagination shown here !
