Comments and Reviews


han enderman 22nd Apr 2024		Peacock 1612-1647 - 1647 (B-side) added. I saved the label images of both sides on 3 Aug 2008, after the ebay 30 July 2008 sale, of which the first side entered popsike. In old times popsike did not save everything, so here they only retained the first image, but in the original size (400x399); large images were reduced in size. - Cat.nr should be adapted.



rhythmdog 22nd Apr 2024		This pairing is a whole lot rarer on 78 than the original pairing with "Night Mare" as the flip. I must have looked at at least 100, maybe 150 sales of "Hound Dog" on 78, and found exactly one which had "Rock A Bye Baby" on the flip. Although there was no image of that side, based on the seller's description it is clear that each side must have used their original labels, as the listing called the record number 1647. The image of the "Hound Dog" side doesn't show any differences from one version of the 1953 labels.



Mike Gann 22nd Apr 2024		I've linked the 45RPM to it, so there we go.



rhythmdog 22nd Apr 2024		This pairing didn't occur until 1955 at the earliest (which is when "Rock A Bye Baby" was first released on Peacock 1647), and more likely than not came about because of Elvis' hit, so 1956 is the most likely date.
