    22. TORNADO, Dale Hawkins (1958)

    -----------
    When I listen to this show there's always a record or two that I really
    dislike ("Anna Macora," this time), but there's also a record or two
    that I never heard before and really like. This time it was "Tornado."
    Last time it was JLL's "Break Up."

    1. WOO-HOO, The Rock-a-Teens (1959)

    Originally on the tiny Doran label in Virginia before Roulette

    3. THIRTY DAYS, Chuck Berry (1955)

    Here's a cover version from a highly unlikely source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQSCkdGcA1w

    10. BOOK OF LOVE, The Monotones (1958)

    This UK cover (that reached #8 in charts here) has to be one of the very worst covers ever!!

    32. ANNA MACORA, Oscar Boyd & The Calvaes (1959)

    Have to disagree with Diane on this one that I like it quite a bit.There were dozens of copies of this in that Chess mountain we found in US warehouse that time. My copy just says "The Calvaes"

    38. DEDICATED TO THE ONE I LOVE, The Shirelles (1959 / 1961)

    Still like their version better than the 5 Royales original

    41. POOR JENNY, The Everly Brothers (1959)

    This is my favorite Everly record of 1959. Like it even better than "Til I Kissed You"

    44. LITTLE DEUCE COUPE, The Beach Boys (1963)

    Amazingly NEVER issued here in UK as a 45rpm at the time

    47. DREAM LOVER, Bobby Darin (1959)

    #1 for four weeks on the the UK NME chart here in July 1959

    And 20 years later Rick Nelson remade it. I think his version is beautiful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBbbNz92Lso
