bill mann 14th Nov 2013		78 RPM Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I Put A Spell On You / Little Demon (1958)	Gimme 'Blue Shropshire' any day
bill mann 31st Oct 2013		78 RPM Freddie Bell And The Bell Boys - Giddy-Up-A Ding Dong / I Said It And I'm Glad (1956)	Thanks gents. I've got the EP and the 78, just wondered about the 45 that's all. There's a few 45s on ebay at the moment from various countries in Europe.
bill mann 30th Oct 2013		78 RPM Freddie Bell And The Bell Boys - Giddy-Up-A Ding Dong / I Said It And I'm Glad (1956)	Was this issued on 45 in UK ?
bill mann 15th Jul 2013		78 RPM Elvis Presley - Blue Suede Shoes / Tutti Frutti (1956)	Yes teddy, Bill is fantastic on this clip. The colonel told him to calm it down after this show, so he woukldn't take the attention from Elvis
bill mann 2nd Jul 2013		78 RPM Fats Domino - Boll Weevil / Don't Blame It On Me (1956)	My 45 copy has 'Bo', presume the 78 is the same. It's already entered as 'Bo' on this site.
bill mann 24th May 2013		78 RPM Eddie Cochran - Somethin' Else / Boll Weevil Song (1959)	Cochran & Domino songs are different songs with similar titles, dunno bout the other one, not heard it
bill mann 24th May 2013		78 RPM Chuck Berry - Roll Over Beethoven / Drifting Heart (1957)	I have this on London 45 & 78, US Chess 45, CD & LP. This 78 has the best sound of the lot by a country mile. Also similarly 'The Fool' & 'I walk the line'
bill mann 24th May 2013		78 RPM Eddie Cochran - Somethin' Else / Boll Weevil Song (1959)	They're back ! thanks. Talking to a pal yesterday, he was recently offered £300 for his copy.
bill mann 23rd May 2013		78 RPM Eddie Cochran - Somethin' Else / Boll Weevil Song (1959)	They've disappeared !
bill mann 22nd May 2013		78 RPM Eddie Cochran - Somethin' Else / Boll Weevil Song (1959)	Much better ! Thanks, now for the other side ?
bill mann 22nd May 2013		78 RPM Eddie Cochran - Somethin' Else / Boll Weevil Song (1959)	No black edge, that's it, thanks
bill mann 21st May 2013		78 RPM Eddie Cochran - Somethin' Else / Boll Weevil Song (1959)	There's something odd about these scans, can't put my finger on it though.
bill mann 26th Apr 2013		78 RPM Josh White - The House Of The Risin' Sun / Strange Fruit (1946)	Had this one back in the 60s, sold it to a folk fan at work for £2. 'Risin Sun' is a great version, possibly where a young Bob Dylan first copped it.
bill mann 19th Apr 2013		78 RPM Little Richard - Tutti-Frutti / Chop Chop (1956)	I like this coupling, odd though it is !
bill mann 17th Apr 2013		78 RPM Jack Scott - Goodbye Baby / Save My Soul (1958)	What a bloody crap label
bill mann 5th Apr 2013		78 RPM Big Bill Broonzy - Black Brown And White (Get Back, Get Back) / Feelin' Low Down (1951)	Yes, I've just spotted it !
bill mann 5th Apr 2013		78 RPM Big Bill Broonzy - Black Brown And White (Get Back, Get Back) / Feelin' Low Down (1951)	I remember shockwaves going thru the music press about this time, when someone had paid the huge sum of £10 for the 10" Burnette album in an auction . What's the going rate now, I shudder to think.
bill mann 4th Apr 2013		78 RPM Big Bill Broonzy - Black Brown And White (Get Back, Get Back) / Feelin' Low Down (1951)	I have a vague memory of this being on a Vogue ep that a mate owned back about 1962/3
bill mann 2nd Apr 2013		78 RPM Hank Williams With His Drifting Cowboys - I'm Sorry For You, My Friend / Honky Tonk Blues (1952)	I think 'Honky tonk blues' is an absolute classic, and one of Hank's very best, 10 outa 10
bill mann 2nd Apr 2013		78 RPM Rubber Legs Williams - That's The Stuff You Got To Watch / Pointless Mama Blues (1945)	mickey, Is mr citizen extracting the urine, whatdya think ?
bill mann 2nd Apr 2013		78 RPM Rubber Legs Williams - That's The Stuff You Got To Watch / Pointless Mama Blues (1945)	I know what you mean mickey, I appear to be in the same boat.
bill mann 28th Mar 2013		78 RPM Rubber Legs Williams - That's The Stuff You Got To Watch / Pointless Mama Blues (1945)	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 (1956)	Note, no mention of 'Drifting Cowboys'
bill mann 10th Mar 2013		78 RPM Billy Cotton - The Dam Busters March / Bring Your Smile Along (1955)	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 (1952)	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 (1955)	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 (1955)	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 (1949)	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 (1951)	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 (1939)	Flea - All depends if you've paid your electricity bill.
