MP3 File Royal Lancers Is This The Place Rize - 102 195? Wow, lucked into finding this one! Great, obnoxious rockabilly tune. I'd guess early fifties. Couldn't find much info on it. What the hell is this song about anyway?? Who cares! Truly epic...
MP3 File Corky Jones Hot Dog Pep - 107 1956 Buck Owens in his one true rockabilly outing*, performing under the name "Corky Jones." Great tune and dig the telephone exchange on the label... * see comments

MP3 File The Saucers Flossie Mae Kick - 516 1958 Okay, now that we've taken care of the old business of 2008, it's time for our first post of 2009. Here's a righteous slice of Doo Wop from 1958 on the tiny Dallas, Tx. Kick label...
MP3 File Bobby Patterson I Got to Get Over Proud - 100 Mid to Late 70s? Here's another Dallas record from local soul hero Bobby Patterson. Written and produced by Bobby and put out on his own label...
MP3 File Bobby Patterson Soul is Our Music Jetstar - 109 1967 Bobby Patterson seems to pop up here quite a bit. Probably because I like him and his 45s are pretty easy to find here in Dallas. I like the lyrics on this one. Nice horns too...
MP3 File Hip Shakin' Baby Roy Brown Imperial - 5510 1958 Blues shouter Roy Brown gets the rockabilly treatment with help from the Burnette brothers on this blistering, echo drenched side. Whoa!

MP3 File The Rovin' Flames How Many Times Decca - 32191 1967 Okay, moving off of the animal/novelty theme, here we go with a nice garage "nugget" from short lived Tampa, Florida band the Rovin' Flames. Excellent snotty vocal on this one...
MP3 File The Nutty Squirrels Uh! Oh pt. 1 Hanover - 4540 1959 Jazz vocal wackiness from the Nutty Squirrels. Yes, it's playing at the right speed. Kind of a Lambert, Hendricks and Ross meet Alvin and the Chipmunks... By the way, what the hell is "prismatic fidelity??"
MP3 File The Three Hep Piggies 5 3/4 year Old Humorous Dian Veltone - 712 195? Here's another hep rendition of the three little pigs story, this time by 5 3/4 year old humorous Dian, which I can only imagine must have been the daughter? granddaughter? niece? of the label owner...
MP3 File Whispering Pigg Darlene EastWest - 111 1958 Whoa. Here's a weird and creepy offering from someone calling themselves Whispering Pigg (actually Larry Randall). According to my minimal research, he released one forty five. What? You've never heard of him? Produced by Norman Petty.

MP3 File Que Martin Work With It Big Town - 120 195? A cool little instrumental from someone named Que Martin. Wasn't able to find out much about this record or artist, but I know I've heard it somewhere before. Maybe on WFMU's Fool's Paradise show? (see link at right)
MP3 File We're the Banana Splits The Banana Splits Decca - 32391 1968 Here's an early side from the Banana Splits, with whom I had a love/hate relationship in grade school. So... dumb... yet, must... watch... *edit: the cover photo above is not from my collection. It's from the hard to find LP from which this single derived. Presented here for illustrative purposes only...
MP3 File Paul Peek Brother in Law (He's a Moocher) Fairlane - 702 1961 Here's Paul Peek with one of the MANY copycat/response songs to Ernie K-Doe's hit "Mother In Law." Paul has finally managed to show Mom the door, then guess who shows up?
