Hank Mizell Jungle Rock

[iteamy]

This appeared in an episode of Bang Bang, it's Reeves & Mortimer. Probably look for "Tom Fun Derek's Birthday".

[rockabillydj]

LOL! Yes, it was a carrot! Actually, it was a "Flip" thingy, and crips the sound on those things suck! My 1st attempt at posting a super cool records, and it sounds like this!

[mitchly]

@rockabillydj Thanks for your nice reply..wasn't expecting that! To be honest, not only can not post any clips on here, it's taken me ages just to watch them! Hell, I'm old. Thanks again for posting it. BG

[mitchly]

Did you record this on a carrot? Only kidding. I couldnt record this any better. Thanks for putting this on YT. First record I ever bought. Billy Gibbons. UK

Great Rock'n'Roll Song, from Hank Mizell. A one Hit Wonder in 1976.

[TheFartingPope]

Shouldn't this be credited to Jim Bobo. I saw an Echo label version with that on the credits. I know that it has been attributed to Hank Mizell since the '70's.

Just a comment not a complaint/

[mrteenswe]

@TheFartingPope This was probably some kind of error on the pressingplant, because i have seen original copies on EKO credited to Hank Mizell too. And the nationally distrubuted KING pressing has also the name Hank Mizell. So this is the correct :)

[Zipgunn1]

@prescient8 Wasn't the 70's re-pressing speeded up slightly?

[phillWWII558]

Through time we will here songs that sound alike.

[phillWWII558]

Ya plasti Bertrand is beter ca plou moi wa or something

[rockabillydj]

@phillWWII558 Plastic Bertrand??? Did he cover Jungle Rock? Haha! I Know he sang Jet Boy Jet Girl!

[phillWWII558]

@rockabillydj no jet boy jet girl was after plastic bertrand and he didnot cover this song! look up plastic bertrand the one that says ca plaou moi or something....

[stevenslava]

[zuton100]

Quite a RARE one that the original good post

[MagnumReisenfeld786]

DL the audio from this clip at tubepull doht cohm.

[musicfreak1967]

In 1958 Hank Mizell already published "Jungle rock", with the result that the following acted - NOTHING itself! EVEN NOTHING! Only in 1976 the song became the hit also in Germany when he became republished one. At that time I was 9 years old when I " Jungle rock" with my child cassette recorder of the broadcasting "International hit parade" of the German radio station NDR 2 took up and over and over again passed the ball. A nice time, and I still loves the song. Lots of love from Germany.

My fave rockabily song of all time

[TheStrainers]

All time Great You can find this on some compilation Rockabilly CDs

[recordnmusicman]

Hank's sons also played music, his two youngest sons, Mark and Alan, were in a three piece band with the oldest son Bill:

Bill Mizell, the only surviving son, still writes and performs music, his page:

[bloozmonkey111]

Pitty that the sound's a bit off, but nonetheless, a true classic! Reminds me of my first pair of creepers. lol. Thanks for the share!

[Manch3st3rCr3w]

The first record I used to dance around our lounge to back in the mid 70's pretending to play the guitar annoying my Mum. Thanks for the upload... Brilliant childhood memories :o)

[bronzeonion]

got it on some 70's k tel's hit machine album lol!

[TheWhitehall]

I bought this record in the early 70`s at the Black Raven Pub in Bishopsgate. That copy was on the "King" label.

I remember Pans People boppin` to it on Top of the Pops Christmas Show..1974.

[rockabillydj]

Yes, this sound sucks. I really don't know much about posting videos on this youtube crap. I thought I would just kinda share this rare 45.

I can record the MP3, and try to upload a video, but i think all MP3s SOUND LIKE SHIT. VINYL RULES.

[LordHeath1972]

If you can get hold of an MP3 of this I would be VERY interested...I can't even find this on a download site!

[crocodile1374]

Why not try bearshare, and theb type in Hank Mizell, then you might find yourself the track you're looking for?

[Shoknifeman]

@rockabillydj S'ok, a record this great is still great even when the sound id a bit tinny ;)

[Promoagent]

@rockabillydj If you encode them at 360kbps and play them back through a decend hi fi system plus you need a damn good sound card too then your rocking they sound good. I have a seperate woofer too which helps a great deal. Best of luck

[musicfreak1967]

@rockabillydj who needs MP3? Who needs iPod? Who needs BOSE? Vinyl will never die! Best wishes from Germany!

[rockabillydj]

@musicfreak1967 I agree! Vinyl rules.

[stevenslava]

@rockabillydj

love it but it's not 'rare' this was number one in the 70s in the UK - you just have an old copy ;)

[JO1045]

Congratulations ! Suppose this is one of only 100 pressings from 58. Greertings

[basvandervoort]

1976

[rockabillydj]

Hi 1976 was the year it became a hit in the UK. This is the original pressing from 1958

[50sRocKabilly]

Great Record!

Witch year is this record from?

[rockabillydj]

Hi, This was released in 1958, on a small Chicago, IL label called EKO.

[fjelly0]

Great song, I agree!

HELP WANTED:

Looking for a song:

lyrics:

train arraiving..sixteen coaches long....

[rockabillydj]

Mystery Train. Elvis Presley. Sun Records

[fjelly0]

Right song. Right label. ( I guess) Wrong artist. Heard the song from a cassette tape in -84. I remembered some of the lyrics... and Elvis' voice I would have reconignized! But it was right song! Thank you! (I belive in people again!)

[rockabillydj]

Of course many, many artists covered this song. It could have been a current 1980's artist, or one of the hundreds of artists from the 50's through the 1970's that covered Mystery Train. In any, case I hope you hear that version again someday, and hopefully the DJ will back announce who it was! ENJOY

[lewisldurham]

Little Junior Parker recorded it originaly for the Memphis Sun label. Presley recorded it a few years later.

[stevenslava]

Elvis never recorded Jungle Rock

[Promoagent]

My fave Rockabilly song of all time too but you can get a top quality version on the CD Rockabilly Dance Tracks

[kingkandy]

Great record, terrible sound!
