Tetra Records (New York)

 


Bill Flagg - Tetra Records # 4445 - Sept 1956

Side A - Go Cat Go 

Side B - A Good Woman's Leavin'

Stripped down rockabilly, with just a couple of acoustic guitars and an upright bass, gives this a rural feel but it still moves along at a right good pace! nice vocals by Bill and he gives it his all. Same goes for the flip, another solid slice of mid paced rockabilly with some sweet pickin' guitar and Bill's real cool vocal.

Epic Records (CBS)

 


Jaycee Hill (Accompanied by Joe Sway)

Epic Records (CBS Records) - 9185 - Sept 1956

Side A - A Love So Fine

Side B - Romp Stompin' Boogie

The song 'Romp Stompin' Boogie' was a song from my teenage years that I played on my CBS Rockabillies LP. Such a great tune and on 78 the tune just jumps from the grooves, Jaycee has a great voice and the whole song is a rockabilly classic, it definitely swings and stomps at the same time, never has a song such as Romp Stompin' Boogie been elevated by teenagers in the late 70's and early 80's as a real classic song. 

Then you realise that it was only the B side and the A also bops along, two great songs on a really Epic record! Easy to find on 45 but pretty rare on a 1956 shellac 78 record.
