dunk78 20th Jun 2020		78 RPM The Bob Cort Skiffle - School Day (Ring ! Ring ! Goes The Bell) / Ain't It A Shame (To Sing Skiffle On Sunday) (1957)	Great skiffle cover of the great chuck berry song "school day - ring ring goes the bell" on a uk decca 78 from bob cort and his skiffle the bob cort skiffle group were one of the major groups of the skiffle scene although they never had a chart hit and consequently their records are getting harder to find. They always had good musicians in the band such as ken sykora and vic flicks - and toured with paul anka and the john barry 7. Bob cort skiffle's stylistic 1957 reinvention of chuck berry's "school day" takes the tune to places that the original never even hinted at. The fluid electric guitar lines are more derivative of chet atkins or les paul than chuck's unmistakable amplified attack. A very interesting recording indeed!! Hai hail skiffle and roll!

dunk78 9th Nov 2019		78 RPM Ethel Ridley - Alabama Bound Blues / I Don't Let No One Man Worry Me (1923)	[Copied from our own fixbutte's wonderful discussion at https://rateyourmusic.com/list/fixbutte/mamas-got-the-blues-and-papa-too-bessie-smith-and-columbias-race-records-series/]: Ethel Ridley (vocal) cut the outstanding "Alabama Bound Blues" in New York on 23 June 1923, accompanied by Leroy Tibbs on the piano. Tibbs' provides slow piano accompaniment to Ethel's very fine vocal as she expresses her disdain for her cheating man as she has already found a replacement lover waiting for her in Alabama:- Get away from my window, don't knock at my door [twice] Got another daddy, don't want you no more I can't use you, 'cause you ain't no good [twice] Got another daddy waiting to tap my wood I don't want you, here's my right hand [twice] You go to your woman, I'll go back to my man Number 7 in the station, number 11 in the yard [twice] Gonna leave this town if I have to ride the rod I'm leavin' town to wear you off my mind I've been mistreated and I don't mind dyin' I'll buy me a ticket long as my right arm Right to where you think I'm dead and gone I'm Alabama bound "I Don't Let One Man Worry Me", which was cut on the same day and in the same location, also has slow piano accompaniment and a wordless vocal section for most of the first minute, as Ethel declares she always keeps two or three men on her mind so she doesn't have to worry about any one man giving her grief. A good performance but nowhere near as good as the A-side.
