It did well, and deservedly so. I have it as a 7 and #390 on my 1954
list which is currently at 527 songs.
THE DRIFTERS – THREE THIRTY THREE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vhw0T0VhywU
This was #2 most successful track in the Unreleased Battle
Strong run finishing behind only "Put Your Cat Clothes On." Don't get
why they did not release it. I have it as a low 9 and at #116 on my 1954 list.
THE FIVE KEYS – TEETH AND TONGUE WILL GET YOU HUNG
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kazUfai-Ujg
I was not aware of this version. I like the King version. This one is
good too. Pierce's lead is great, but I don't like the background vocal arrangement. Other than Pierce's voice it does not sound at all like a 5
Keys record. Why are they fucking singing over a sax break that sounds
like it would be stellar if you could hear it without the voices. It
could have been great, but instead it's a mess that will only get a 6.
This track was rated #84 in the list of entrants in the Unreleased
Battle
I must have thought that the King version was the one in the contest and
that it was unissued.
GUITAR SLIM – GUITAR SLIM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-eD-yqch5s
Now we are talking major TEN category here. I have it #18 for the year
and at #113 all time.
This one by Slim came in at #15 in the most successful entrants chart in
the Unreleased Battle
Glad to hear it.
THE HAWKS – HE’S THE FAT MAN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJQLIYqr2XQ
I have an 8 on this and it's at #259 for the year. Wasn't Dave
Bartholomew also a member of the group? At least some of the time.
He sings on some songs that are just credited to the Hawks.#223 and an 8
JIMMY McCRACKLIN – NIGHT AND DAY
My affection for Jimmy Mack is no secret, and this one is a 9 and checks
in at #69 for the year.
THE PELICANS – DOWN IN MEXICO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Edhe5jZ4lI
Another great one, a 10, and part of a trio of great records with the
same title that are all different songs. I list it as by the Kidds,
that's what it said on the 45 I had. But I have it as #31 for 1955. The
video below also says 1955.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4n4F80P17RI
CARL PERKINS – HONKY TONK BABE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWtMv09s1Gw
The very first track ever laid down by Carl Perkins at Sun Studios in
Memphis. That session took place 10th October 1954 ft. Carl Perkins
(vcl,gtr) Jay B. Perkins (gtr) Clayton Perkins (bs) W.S. Holland (dms).
First released on the Bear Family set “Classics” in March 1990
This was #34 most successful track in the Unreleased Battle
It's "Honky Tonk Gal." I have it as an 8 and at #145 for the year.
ELVIS PRESLEY – TOMORROW NIGHT
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K03mPoQKNxw
I have a 7 on this, but Lonnie's version is better. There is something magical about it IMO. The Elvis is #352 for the year.
THE SPIDERS - LOVE’S ALL I’M PUTTIN’ DOWN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziYf7Vs-X_k
I was starting to think this did not make the list!
Another killer 10, and just about the best record the Spiders ever made.
How the FUCK this was not released I will never understand. I have it
#21 for the year.
Okay, here's what I came up with:
The Ice Man - Dave Bartholomew
I can't fucking believe this is not on Youtube. I'm counting on Larry to remedy that.
Travelin' On ¦ Sticks McGhee
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joRbWAQzRec
Sticks made one record for Savoy, but this was an unissued track from
that session. The session details only mention the 2 released sides, but
it must be from that same day. Bubba Brooks, tenor sax; Fletcher Smith, piano; Sticks McGhee, guitar, vocal; Prince Babbs, bass; Irving Brown,
drums.
Mellow As A Man Can Be ¦ Hollywood Flames https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06-MDWtsH_Q
Mellow Mama ¦ Spiders
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KK_AqMEgLg
Another Leonard "Chick" Carbo lead. Unfortunately the tape seems to have
had some kind of a glitch during the intro where it slows down for half
a second.

No,the Sun files show two cuts of this song recorded at Carl's first Sun session--the very first titled "Honky Tonk Babe" the second as "Honky
Tonk Gal"....the original "Babe" version is the YT clip that I posted
