Vintage shots from days gone by!

Jackie Wilson: Talk That Talk (1959) Brunswick Records. Rarely handed material of quality, Jackie Wilson made the songs great by his sheer will and energy...great performer!!

 

Ricky Nelson: Be-Bop Baby (1957) Imperial Records. Ricky looking extremely cool on this early Imperial picture sleeve.

Jimi's note: Interestingly, these two singles contain what I consider to be Rick's BEST Rock&Roll numbers, amazingly, featured as the "B" sides!!! I'd rank "Believe What You Say" slightly ahead of "Be-Bop Baby."




Rick Nelson: Believe What You Say (1957) Imperial Records And speaking of James Burton, he KICKS *** on this superb rock and roller from Rick's early catalogue. Rick's right up there with the best of Elvis on this one.

 

Had this one in perfect condition when I was a kid, wasn't a big Stones fan so I traded it. Who knew?!

 

Elvis Presley: Little Sister (1961) RCA Victor Records. One of the last great Elvis singles. "Little Sister" features a great hook and "His Latest Flame" stays on the right side of schmaltz.

Jimi: "Little Sister" sizzles with a slighly veiled ***uality that slipped right by station censors, parents and ministers. But the KIDS surely didn't miss it! Great tune, and one of Elvis' most under-appreciated. IMO, had he done it in 1957, it would have better fit his then enigmatic good-boy/bad-boy image. As it was, it charted fifth on the Top 100 chart.

 

Yardbirds: Heart Full of Soul (1965) Epic Records. [I'm betting nobody can accurately name this line-up from this almost constantly evolving group. Don't ask me, 'cause even after looking it up, I still had one wrong, one unsure. Clapton's the easiest, of course.]

 

Stevie Wonder: Fingertips - Part 1 and 2 (1963) Tamla Records

 

I do.I take my time going through while drinking my morning cup of joe.

 

Little Richard: Good Golly, Miss Molly (1958) Specialty Records. Little Richard almost looks subdued here!

 

Chuck Berry: Rock and Roll Music (1957) Chess EP. Chuck Berry Chess EPs are hard to find, especially covers in decent shape.



Chuck Berry: Sweet Little 16 (1958) Chess Records EP. Said Tom: "Notice big pic of white ****s. Notice very small pic of Chuck. Back in the days when some people were afraid of *****es!"

Dad was an avid fisherman. Built at least two wood boats in his day. I'm not a boat guy by any means but it would be cool to know the whereabouts of at least one of his boats. Probably long gone.
