Tampa Red - Don't You Lie To Me

Recorded May 10th 1940. Here you'll find electric guitar, piano, blues singing and kazoo. Sounds great for a record that's been broken and glued back together!

Thanks for the info. Enjoy.

It's a Lenco B55. Swiss-made from the early to mid 1970s. You're right. It has a thick, heavy platter to absorb rumble as well as two floating platforms to isolate the disc and tonearm. Also there's the stylus which is designed for vintage discs: it's larger than the standard stylus used for 45 and 33 1/3rpm records. I found this turntable at a store for used electronics. You can look on ebay. search: LENCO

Sounds like a great story. Want to share?

The scratches are comforting.

[laceup1967]

Nothing like a good scratch.

@guitarandharp I'm with you on this, if the kazoo was mixed lower it would be alot better but it's still a stain on tampa's body of work

Ok, so the big question is: WHO WROTE THIS SONG?

[merryfieldmorgan1]

Did Chuck Berry actually take credit for this?
