Comments and Reviews


deezee 17th Jan 2016		The original of this is also rare and again quite primitive. The remake is the ultimate version with Travis more to the fore and Grandpa's vocals more distinctive on both sides. So with Travis clearly heard and the sparse sound with only Grandpa's guitar as back-up this could well be called the first Rockabilly record. The re-made version on all the EPs, LPs and CD's is an alternate take of this and might be slightly better. The trouble is that all the LPs have the usual King added echo, so the only way to hear it as recorded is on the King EP and 2 Ace CDs. I can check details if you wish.
