Not bad, although Ruth Brown's original on Atlantic was superior to this version.

'Diddy Bop' is being issued on a Kent Harris (aka 'Boogaloo') CD by Ace in March.

This is horribly complex and unnecessary. Much easier to insert the pic, then just click on 'TEXT WRAPPING' - then choose ANY the options inside that box. You can then click & drag the inserted pic anywhere on the page. Simple!

This was the original - Johnny Preston's version for Mercury was better.

The Bikinis track is on "Las Vegas Grind - Part 3" CD.

George recorded this song twice. This is George's original April '58 recording which is much better than his later 60s remake.

- Pity it's spoilt by the skips on the record!

Great track. Never heard this one before. A goodie!

Yes, the 1961 remake on the Bobby Vee Rarities CD is much better than this early Clovis version.

I have the Australian single of this song which I always liked. It's also available on the CD -"The Diamonds' Songbook" (33 tracks).

This is terrible sound quality. Noting like the 45. Please get rid of it.

Yep, that's the Plas on tenor. His usual right hand man Jewel Grant on baritone sax.

Ernie Freeman's version wins hands down in my book. Any instrumental with Ernie Freeman on keyboards and the great Plas Johnson on sax can't be beat. Add Earl Palmer on drums and Irving Ashby on guitar. Freeman's version really rocks compared to the other two versions which are a bit sluggish in ...

Simply the best. This act had talent, unlike pretenders such as David Lee Roth's poor attempt at the song. And Keely has real CLASS!

A poor version compared to the original. Give this singer a big flick.

The pic of Georgia Lee on her Decca LP 'Get On Board with...." appears to be of a female in her mid to late twenties.

Shelby Flint's 'Complete Valiant Singles' is now available on CD from Amazon.

Bobby Vee recorded a much better version of 'White Silver Sands' with Plas Johnson on sax at the 'Baby Face' session in LA , March 1961. Sadly it's still unissued.

"Mandrake" was the alias of New York session guitarist Vinnie Rogers, who died tragically in the late 60s. He released three 45s on Columbia, 2 instrumentals and the third a vocal. I'm aware of only one subsequent release by him, 'Flash Flood'/'Dreams Of Love' under his own name on the Duel label.

This is the alternate version which was mistakenly issued in the UK on a London 78. Different to the US Abbott release.

Not quite as good as Gar's follow-up - 'Justice' but a close second. Never seen a pic of the boy.

My favourite track by Anita. Recorded in late 1955 and released on Capitol the following year. She never had a hit record, although she made some excellent recordings. Born in Tennessee in 1930, Anita passed away in March 2009 at the grand old age of 78.

I'm guessing the Prigan disc was issued in 1961 to cash in on Kenner's then-hit for Instant Records - 'I Like It Like That'. Actually, 'Right Kind Of Girl' doesn't even sound like a N.O. recording to me.

Nice quality! Better than the CDs I have it on. Can you tell me the CD source for your version? Thanks.

NO WAY is this The Pentagons! It's a slightly different (slowed down) take of Sylvester Stewart performing this song.

Nice Nashville production.

This song was also recorded by Loudermilk himself in 1962 for RCA.

In my opinion, the best version of this song was by Dick Glasser under his singing alias Dick Lory for Liberty Records (Liberty 55293). Produced by Snuff Garrett.

'Bitter Wind' was issued on Vita in 1959 as the Christy Sextet.

This recording is available on CD on "The Vita Records Story'.

GANGSTA: The artist is ROY Hamilton (not Ray).

Definitely FAKE stereo as another poster noted. The song has never been mixed to stereo. Ace also issued it in that same awful echo-laden sound on one of their 'Teenage Crush' CDs. The correct mono hit version can be found in excellent quality on the CD "Donnie Brooks Greatest Hits" (Canetoad)...

Good track but it is NOT stereo. 100% MONO!

Not really "rare". The Imperial label 45 made the US charts and is commonly available on ebay and similar sites.

I have a copy of the US 45, as well as an Oz Roulette copy. Both are identical and feature Sylvia (of Mickey & Sylvia) performing on the song.

A nice little song! This is the longer (originally unissued) version which features a cold ending. The Laurie 45 runs 2:22 and also has echo throughout which is missing from this version.

I have this program and this video is USELESS and totally confusing! Makes SF10 sound unbelievably complex.
