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

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

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

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