I like it! and I seek for the B-side! I like the tune on the other side that is a sort of powerful "blues"! If I'm correct it is "St Louis Blues"... I have listened it somewhere in the friends record collection! - Very good sound!

There are at least 2 different pressings that I'm aware of. One of them had "Bye Bye Blues" on the B-side which is the one you may be referring to......The one featured here however, has "Guitar In Orbit " on the B- side. Both were on the HUNT label.

[offshute]

When I was in eighth grade around 1959 there

was a talent show and out comes this kid with

a big F hole guitar playing guitar boogie shuffle solo. I will never forget it.

That was in Willow Grove PA.

Could listen to this 24/7 and never get tired of hearing it. I grew up at the beginning of R n R and will never forget of hearing masterpieces like this.

Anybody remember Dick Sharpe, aka Dick Saunders. (played for Ronnie Dove, Chubby Checker and others. In the 70's, I heard that Dick was the guitar player on "GBS" and was payed $25.00 for the session. Maybe there was another version?? or just BS

@JimmyBrunoJazz get a life you has been - no talent - you have to dog a man who gave you a paycheck and fed your dirty children. Don't be jealous because your a NOBODY . SUCKS to be a member of FRANK VIRTUE AND THE VIRTUES. I don't see your name anywhere. Maybe you should unclog toilets for a living. lol
