 West Coast Records - Four Star Custom

Tommy Kizziah and his West Coast Ramblers

West Coast Records - OP-115 - 1951

Side A - Too Much Light In My Eyes

Side B - Long Tom Boogie

Now here is a mighty fine a pretty rare Four Star Custom record OP (Other People) 115 by the tip top Tommy Kizziah and his West Coast Ramblers. Tommy and the Ramblers did go on to see a release of the B side on Four Star proper so must have sold pretty well in the region.

A side just does what it does, just a decent country duet by Buddy & Evelyn (band members?) but it's the flip that takes you to guitar boogie land and back again! just amazing country boogie and boy does it move!

Joe Clay - Vik Records - X-0211 - May 1956

Side A - Duck Tail

Side B - Sixteen Chicks

Joe Clay (Claiborne Joseph Cheramie) passed away on the 26th Sept 2016 but he left us some of the greatest rockabilly records ever made. This one on Vik is a twin sided monster that really doesn't need any introduction by me! 

A very rare record on 78rpm and was pressed in limited amounts unlike the 45 rpm which was pressed in much greater numbers and vinyl version is still pretty easy to find today.

On these tunes you'll hear Hal Harris on lead guitar and Link Davis on rhythm guitar and along with the fantastic rockin' vocals by Joe. In one word, this record is 'Perfection'
