Eddie Cochran
Cut Across Shorty / blank:
London : MSX 4348 DJ (7")
Listen to this highly regarded "hillbilly" rocker framing Eddie's much loved upturn top lip snarl, soften by his rhythmic guitar playing.
Eddie tells the captivating story of "Shorty" having to run a race against Dan to win the hand of Miss Lucy. Although Dan "had all the money and the looks" but Shorty "must have had something that wasn't in books!". As Miss Lucy encourage Shorty to cheat by short-cutting across country. A great example of Rock N' Roll storytelling, vividly painting the picture of the ruff-cut country boy Shorty beating the slick clean-cut City Boy Dan to the winnming line; as it was Shorty, Miss Lucy wanted to wed, so the wily gal had fixed the race.
A short uplifting tale of young love, so brilliantly written by Marijohn Wilkin & Rockabilly legend Wayne Walker, so splendidly retold by the engaging "tongue in cheek" delivery of Eddie Cochran .
Rare and highly collectable as this single sided promo. That I really enjoyed having on my turntable.
Condition Report
Two clean labels, running time 1-51 seconds neatly written right hand side. Good gloss vinyl reveals only the merest storage hairlines, with one solitary very soft turntable retrieve fingernail brush NOT affecting playback (listen<br /> ). The blank flipside vinyl is a strong excellent, giving off the studio test "DO NOT PLAY" warning low-hum.

Winston Shan / Harmonians
Matilda / Come To Me
Bullet : BU 411 (45s)
Strong, rich dance Reggae of the highest quality, featuring a fabulous instrumental break before ending with a flurry of addictive metronomic beats and every pitch of soaring vocal group harmony.
Flip it over the Harmonians go it alone but serve up a just as impressive (if not better) dance session..so good in fact it triggered a limited reissue in 2018.
Both sides heavily feature high-end vocal group unity woven into a compelling dance arrangements.

Marcia Griffith / Lester Sterling
Feel Like Jumping / Wiser Than Solomon
Studio One: 7340 (45s)
Original first press red with silver text for the "A" / black label red with silver text for the "B"
One Bob Marley's Princesses gives up an irrepressible performance on this lively Jackie Mittoo composition produced by the innovative Clement "Coxsone" Dodd. Who brilliantly decorated the session with squeaky saxophone blows, reklkentless make-vocal group "La La's and whoops" and an inspired sax break inviting more and more whooping. The "jumping" cocktail is truly intoxicating, another "Clement" addition is a snarling intrusion of a lone male voice "Yeah Yeah" so far out of tune proceedings it is nothing short of brilliant!
Just my fave tune of the summer!
The flipside is again a horn saturated production, a finger-snapping mid-tempo, bass-guitar propelled Rock Steady journey from the great Lester Sterling. Another cool tune, worthy of your attention.
Two great sides with Marcia completely blowing me away!
Condition Report
a soft defacing on the a-side title and artists, flipside label is impeccably clean. Vinyl carries strong gloss, the surface revealing some light surface hairlkines ad one light scratch that doesn't affect play (listen)
Hugh Roy / Nora Dean with Tommy McCook Quintet
Rule The Nation / Angle-Lala
Treasure Isle : 7903 (7")
Such a super-cool recording.
As is the innovative flipside, peppered with weird and wonderful sound effects, running through bongo dominated rhythms as Nora asks "where have you been all my life boy" between the "Afro/Latin" pulses, Nora injecting her own sultry "Voodoo" input.. again this is a top tune! Addictive in the extreme, complete littered breaks/beats of a most unusual kind.
Two killer sides, delivered by two highly gifted Jamaican artists and a superior backing band under the mastery of Duke Reid.
A MUST OWN 45.
Condition Report
Two clean labels (see images), unusually clean vinyl. Still retaining full gloss revealing just the occasional light surface blemish, check out the clean double soundfile lifted directly off this elusive disc. The flipside vinyl perimeter suffers slightly from the primitive pressing plant final trimming. quite ruff the the fingertips but not affecting sound or play.
