In The Trashcan
Records GARBAGE168
"Do the shake, the temptation walk, the satan boogie,
the honky tonk, the witch's twist and the monkey one
more time..."
One of my all time fave Haley tunes! A midnight creeping titty-twistin' instrumental from 1959 I simply adore. B-side is the better known "Caldonia".
In 1968 on the album "The King of rock" it was called "Hambone" but on this rare 1970 single release it was retitled "Pancho pancho", a fabulous Diddley-beat rocker that came 10 years too late. On the flipside there's a version of "Land of a thousand dances" (see vol 167).
Funny instrumental r&b ditty from 1966 on Dore. The flipside "Temptation walk" is the better side.
Instrumental B-side of his sole single on the obscure IPG Records label in 1963. Wild guitar and sax battle written by Alan Harvey. Actually I think this is just a group of studio musicians who accompany the young kid Salvatore on the flipside.
Subtitled "People don't look no more", this vocal side is a slow soul tune with a serious nod to doo-wop and early 60s sounds.
Joseph DiNicola changed his name to Joey Dee and gathered some Starliters in 1960. The rest is history and all mashed potatoes. Here is a great organ instrumental beat rocker from 1962.
Blue Note means jazz… "Midnight creeper" means you'll get the creeps at midnight. Smooth Hammond jazz sounds for a midnight cocktail party on the patio.
Lou and his saxophone or "Mr. Alligator Boogaloo" take you away on this fast stroll on the beach in 1968. It's the B-side of "Midnight creeper". See also vol 184.
Spooky boogie rockin' instrumental from Belgium by The Daniels from 1961, who had other Barclay singles such as "Last night".
I call this the Buddy Merrill guitar sound. It's unique and very recognizable. Buddy was born as Leslie Merrill Behunin. Most of his recordings were released by Accent Records. "The worm" from 1965 is one of his best instrumentals.
Two more singles in 1961 followed and then it was over. I just like this guitar instrumental from 1960. See also vol 167.
Great swinging instrumental that could have been the inspiration for "Bikini with no top on the top" from 1964 by June Wilkinson & Mamie Van Doren. This is from 1960, a Wye Records release.
The Daniels loved the night, hence this "All night" and other single releases like "Next night" and "Last night". Eerie cheesy instrumental novelty from Belgium.
What a fine slab of 1960 r&b by James Handyman Jones from New York, but born in Alabama. A Cub release, one of the many labels he was on.
There were many bands called The King Pins. This one featured Charles "T.C." Lee from T.C. & The Bricklayers. The monkey and the stroll have a very significant feeling I like very much. A 1963 Federal release.
Written by Robert Duke, an alias for "Joe" Robert Meek for his prime group. It was their first single and not as successful as the next one, "Telstar". A 1962 Decca release.
