    This week's show is archived until July 28th at the link below. Here's
    the playlist:

    2. REET PETITE, Jackie Wilson

    Reissued over here in late 1986 on SMP label this famous oldie sold so
    well it entered the NME charts once again in that December and reached
    #1 on 10 January 1987 where it remained for 3 weeks

    3. 30 DAYS, Chuck Berry

    A most unlikely cover (but one I always kinda liked)

    6. SLOW DOWN, Larry Williams

    This was always my favorite record by him

    12. TONITE TONITE, The Mello-Kings

    As seen in the British made rock 'n' roll movie "Sweet Beat" in 1959

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHqWWaQFkwA

    14. ANOTHER SATURDAY NIGHT, Sam Cooke

    Even tho I'm not big on lyrics I have to admire the lyric line on this
    one :-

    "Another fella told me he had a sister who looked just fine
    Instead of being my deliverance
    She had a strange resemblance To a cat named Frankenstein"

    15. BAD BOY, The Jive Bombers

    The original version from 1936 by Lil Hardin Armstrong

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF9tt_jm-Ek

    20. LITTLE GIRL, John & Jackie

    The young lady seems to be having so much pleasure here it ought to be
    double X-rated

    22. GEE, The Crows

    There are some real bad white covers of black 1950's r&b out there---but
    this has to be one of the baddest

    30. DREAMS ARE FOR FOOLS, The Revalons

    One of the earliest things I was ever turned on to via this newsgroup.
    I'd never heard it before until Norm K mentioned it was one of his
    favorites wayyyyyyy back............

    31. CAST IRON ARM, Peanuts Wilson

    One of the very biggest of all the 1970's "boots" that sold thousands
    of copies back then

    34. RIP VAN WINKLE, The Devotions

    Silly doowop but one I always liked. Still have original Delta label
    copy

    Superb ballad by Devora's boys second only to their fabulous "The Wind"
    classic

    This one was on the short list for my recent "Fave 1958 Unreleased" post
