Here's one off of the orignal 78

Little Richard-Rubber Duckie

2009-11-10T03:38:00.000-08:00

Today Sesame Street turns 40--I was in first grade when it premiered. However, I was already reading and writing and saw no need to learn any more of that..now if I could only spell..

anyway here's Little Richard in the "tubby" with his Rubber Duckie..OH SHUT UP!!!!!

Seven Foot Dilly - a 78 from 1930

2009-11-06T11:36:00.000-08:00

I found this 78 at a flea market and sold it for 400 bucks within three hours of gettng it home. It is by Seven Foot Dilly and his Dill Pickles from 1930 on the Brunswick label. The song is Kenesaw Mountain Rag. This is my first attempt at making a video for this and putting it on You Tube--not too shabby eh??

Dorse Lewis--The Scared Coal Miner --Mexican Twist

2009-11-06T07:28:00.000-08:00

Dorse Lewis--the Scared Coal Miner--does his big hit 'Mexican Twist"!!

Johnny T Talley-I've Changed My Wild Mind [1956]

2009-11-06T07:24:00.001-08:00

I first heard this on the old Mercury Rocakbillies LP in the late 70s. I never get sick of hearing it, even after 30 years!!

Harmonica Frank Floyd-Rock a Little Baby [19587]

2009-11-06T07:19:00.001-08:00

From 1958 , Frank did this as half a side--the other side was by Larry McKennon-Monkey Love. This is the better of the two songs..

Lew Williams- Something I Said [1956]

2009-11-06T07:09:00.000-08:00

Here's some nice cool Texas rockabilly from 1956 !!!!!!!!!

Scrappy Cartoon-The Little Pest [1931]

2009-11-01T17:34:00.000-08:00

Another rare Columbia cartoon. Here's Scrappy!!!!

Krazy Kat Cartoon-Weenie Roast [1931]

2009-11-01T17:31:00.000-08:00

Here's an old and rare cartoon for ya. Columbia Pictures released cartoons back in the 1930S and 40s under the name SCREEN GEMS. Krazy Kat and Scrappy were once popular back then but somehow they never made TV magic in the 50s and 60s and are therefore forgotten by all but the most avid cartoon geeks like myself.

Sceramin' Jay Hawkins

2009-10-31T08:55:00.000-07:00

What can I say??-The original wild man hisself !!!!!!!!

2009-10-31T05:23:00.000-07:00

Here's an old Max Fleischer Screen Song cartoon--follow the bouncing ball and sing along

and in 1958 the song was done rock n roll style by "Ivan" [Jery Allison of the Crickets]--it featured Buddy Holly on lead guitar and was the flip of "real Wild Child".

Rockin' Ed with the Nocturnes

2009-10-25T17:19:00.000-07:00

Oh No It's Me up there on You Tube

We did this at a benefit show for special needs adults. My backup band is called the Nocturnes --However, when I gues twith them we are called The Black Sheep

Johnny Horton-Cherokee Boogie [1959]

2009-10-23T18:46:00.000-07:00

This was off of his 1959 LP that also featured his mega-hit BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS. This song was originally done by Moon Mullican and was a hit a few years back by BR 549, but this is by far my all-time favorite version.

Frank Wilson-Do I Love You [Motown 1965]

2009-10-23T18:34:00.000-07:00

This is a very rare northern soul and Motown classic. One of the rarest records in the enitre universe!!!!!!!!

Clydie King-Missin' My Baby [1966]

2009-10-23T18:26:00.000-07:00

Here's another great Northern Soul floater.

Spooks-2 Halloween Cartoons

2009-10-23T18:11:00.000-07:00

What we have here are two Halloween themed cartoons. Both of these are from the golden age of animation--The first one is an early Universal production by Walter Lantz starrnig Oswald, The Lucky Rabbit, a character origally created by Walt Disney. This "Spooks is from 1930" . The second version is a 1932 production by UB Iwerks and stars Flip the Frog. Iwerks was originally part of Walt Disney's team of animators..

Here's a complete show from 1965--featuring his hit THE MOUSE

Joe Meek Story

2009-10-19T13:07:00.000-07:00

This is a documentary abut a very strange record producer--if you thought Phil Spector was odd, check out this guy. He produced Telstar by the Tornados plus lots of other classic British hits--his work is not as well known here in the US, but many collectors still seek out his work

Blind Lemon Jefferson-Low Down Mojo Blues

2009-10-16T13:45:00.000-07:00

From 1928. This Blind Lemon Jefferson 78 was a special issue--WOW what a nice lookin' label--good song too

Wheels- My Hearts Desire [1955] 78

2009-10-15T16:35:00.001-07:00

Someone on You Tube has good taste..this is a classic group harmony gem

Bosko's Picture Show [1933]

2009-10-14T14:23:00.001-07:00

This is the last Looney Tunes cartoon to feature Bosko. It contains the earliest appearance of Hitler in a cartoon short--also there is a certain four-letter word uttered by Bosko. possibly the first use of that certain word in any Hollywood motion picture.

Looney Tunes: Sinkin' In The Bathtub [1930]

2009-10-14T14:19:00.000-07:00

This is the very first Looney Tunes Cartoon from 1930 starring Bosko. Now be aware that this contains stereotypes that are no longer accepted today but back in 1930..

The original Warner Bros/Looney Tunes titles are included.

Wayne Raney--Why Don't You Haul Off And Love Me [1949]

2009-10-13T03:45:00.000-07:00

A classic country recording--you can't play a Delmore Bros record without also putting on Wayne Raney

Delmore Brothers-Blues Stay Away From Me [1949]

2009-10-13T03:42:00.001-07:00

Rocksteady 1967-Evans & Jerry-Tennesee Waltz

2009-10-07T04:06:00.000-07:00

2009-10-06T07:02:00.001-07:00

This is an early Merry Melodies cartoon from 1931. Be Warned!!!!!!!! THIS IS NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT BY TODAY'S STANDARDS BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS FROM THAT TIME PERIOD.
This is the first time I've seen this full length and uncut. The warner Bros screen titles are intact.

Deke Dickerson-Snatch It and Grab It

2009-10-01T03:45:00.000-07:00

Elvis-Baby Let's Play House [1956]

2009-10-01T03:40:00.000-07:00

Off the Dorsey Brothers Show..

Cliff Richard-Move It [1958]

2009-09-29T20:09:00.000-07:00

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]

2009-09-29T20:05:00.001-07:00

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

2009-09-29T19:58:00.001-07:00

This guy I guess is the Aussie Elvis. I found out that his name was Col--not Colonel. Anyway, this is good stuff

From an obscure movie called UNTAMED YOUTH. If anybody knows where I can find this movie.............

The Four Pennies-Juliet

2009-09-22T11:24:00.000-07:00

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]

2009-09-22T11:15:00.000-07:00

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]

2009-09-22T11:10:00.000-07:00

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]

2009-09-22T05:27:00.000-07:00

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

2009-09-22T05:17:00.001-07:00

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

2009-09-22T05:14:00.000-07:00

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!!!!!!!!!

....and again another unissued gem

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
