A Classic rocker from the UK. It's amazing that with all his worldwide success, he never made it here in the US.

Patsy Ann Noble- Good Lookin' Boy [1961]
Another Aussie singer. You'll notice that whoever posted this uses the UK pressing _ I Don't think it was issued in the U.S.
Col Joye-Aussie Rockabilly
This guy I guess is the Aussie Elvis. I found out that his name was Col--not Colonel. Anyway, this is good stuff

The Four Pennies-Juliet
Not all of the British Invasion groups were successful in invading the US charts..this one is a prime example. The Four Pennies had this one hit--it was issued on the PHILIPS label here but the label was too busy promting the FOUR SEASONS and let this records slip by....
Buckinghams-Don't You Care [1967]
Again from 1967, this was live on the Smothers Brothers Show--the vocals are done live over the instrumental track-that's why there's an echo effect.
Jerry Butler-Giving Up On Love [1964]
Time to meelow out from all that screamin' rockabilly..........so here's a neat little gem from 1964--issued on VEE JAY here in the US, but I found this nice label shot of the UK 45 on Stateside..
Sid Silver- Bumble Rumble [c. 1957]
This is a rare one--and I've put it up for red Neckerson who like the Bill Woods 45
go to You Tube to check out more of thedse goodies
Mack Vickey-Drive In
ANother Sun unissued treasure--now this one would've gotten Sam Phillips in a bit of hot water as the song is bascially a rip-off of Don Gibson'd I AIN'T A STUDYING YOU BABY !!!!
Jimmy Haggett-How Come You Do Me
now this one....was not issued in the 50s and when it was ished on a SUN comp--it was mistakenly credited to Junior Thompson!!!!!!!!!
Dean Beard-Rock Aroujnd The Town
Dean Beard--from Texas--he later joined the Champs !!!!!!!!!!!
His best 45s were Rakin' and Scrapin' and Party Party on Atlantic but this burner was another unissued SUN goodie

Narvel Felts--My Babe
This one kils Little Walter====and I don't say that too much since I'm always one to give the original full credit..nbut it DOES kill Dale Hawkins!!!!!!!!!
and this one was never issued in the 50s

Kanui & Lula-Oua Oua 1930s Hawaiian
Wow they were actually recording rockabilly in Hawaii back then--LOL!!
Red Raven Records 1950s
I'd seen these things around but never knew just exactly what they did. I guess you had to have had a special type of record player to play these on, with a mirror attached to the top.
These played at 78 RPM which is why the first part of this video sounds like someone on drugs.
Tennessee Thompson-Slippin a a Slidin'
Little Richard wasn;t the only one to do Slippin' and Slidin'
not the same song but a goodie just the same...

Mary Travers-RIP [Peter Paul and Mary]
Another great artist has left us--I'm not going to get into any political discussion here--just remember her for what she sang...that's why I chose this song to present.
RIP Mary
RIP Mary
Vera Lynn--Number 1 UK at 92!
Vera Lynn---one of England's greatest singers, has reached the numbe one position in the UK with a greatest hits compilation--at 92 years of age making her the oldest artist to reach that point. Here in the US , her biugesty hit was 1952's "Auf Wiedersehn Sweetheart"--however, this is one of her most remembered hits...

The Beatles from 1967. This was a train wreck according to most Beatles fans--I actually liked it when I first saw it in the 1980s..and I still do..
Jivin' Gene- Breakin' Up IS Hard To Do
A completely different song from Neil Sedaka
This is a classic Swamp pop song from 1959--

Betty Boop- Dizzy Red Riding Hood [1931]
An early Betty Boop cartoon-- produced by Max and Dave Fleischer and released by Paramount Pictures. Pretty risque stuff.....and check out the joke at 4:17...Non PC at it's best!!!!
Cartoon: In The Bag -Humphrey Bear
I have't posted any cartoons lately, so I decided to pick one from the 50s--and a Disney cartoon to boot!! So stupid it's funny..Humphrey the Bear!!. You'll notice that the voice of the park rainger is the same as Droopy Dog from the MGM cartoons.
