Various - Blacked! ’n’ Diddled! White kids going wild over the rhythm & blues of Bo Diddley EP (7 single/EP)
€10,00Quick ViewBLACKED VOL.2 – White kids going wild over the rhythm & blues of Bo Diddley
BLACKED AGAIN! This second volume of white kids seduced by the magic of black rock’n’roll brings us four examples of how Bo Diddley’s jungle beat possessed the spirits of white people.
Jo Ann & Troy were actually singer Jo Ann Campbell and, her then husband, songwriter and guitarist Troy Seals, attacking Uncle Bo’s WHO DO YOU LOVE? in 1963, halfway between twist and early soul. Side A is completed with Bobby Crown & the Kapers, well known in the rockabilly world for their late 50s recordings. In 1966 they did a tremendous over of DIDDLE-DADDY that could perfectly well have been signed by Bo himself.
The B-side opens with Jim Doval & The Gauchos and their garage tasted cover of MAMA, KEEP YOUR BIG MOUTH SHUT, and closes at Goldband Records, Louisiana, where blacks and whites recorded with the same feelin’. There Dell Mack recorded one of the most powerful and wild versions of Bo Diddley’s classic YOU CAN’T JUDGE A BOOK BY THE COVER.
Again, black magic was irresistible for young white dudes! -
Various - Blacked! ’n’ Cruduped! White kids going wild over the rhythm & blues of Arthur ‘Big Boy’ Crudup EP (7 single/EP)
€10,00Quick ViewBLACKED VOL.1 – White kids going wild over the rhythm & blues of Arthur ‘Big Boy’ Crudup
Was Arthur ”Big Boy” Crudup the father of rock’n’roll? Well, in a way he was. If Elvis chose one of his songs to open his first single on Sun, then old Arthur deserves some credit.
In the years following the big bang of rock’n’roll, more than a few bands and singers returned to Arthur Crudup’s repertoire, and this EP is a compilation of four good examples of how Big Boy’s rhythm & blues influenced white kids on both sides of the Atlantic and the Pacific. The Star-Fires from Boston with SHE’S LONG AND TALL and WORRIED ’BOUT YOU BABY by Waylon Humphries & The Raiders from Shreveport, Louisiana, make up side A, while England’s Dave Berry and his version of MY BABY LEFT ME, and Australia’s Paul Wayne with the classic THAT’S ALRIGHT MAMA do the same on side B.
Pale boys who went crazy for the sounds of rhythm & blues, JUST BLACKED ’N CRUDUPTED! -

Gray Phil And His Go-Boys - Pepper Hot Baby / Bluest Boy In Town (7 single/EP)
€10,00Quick ViewDo you know the story behind this 45? Phil Gray was 15 years old when he recorded this amazing slab of killer Rockabilly! Col. Tom Parker got an earful of it, and did not want his Elvis to have competition, it was hitting radio markets in Norfolk, Virginia Beach & Jacksonville, Florida…
Parker paid the stations not to play the 45, and bought up ALL existing copies and had them destroyed. Phil Gray told me that story, and he believes the same thing happened with the Billy Barrix 45. Parker tried to do it with Gene Vincent also, but he was too late. Jack Neal the bass player for Gene Vincent plays on the 45, and it was recorded at the Fernwood Studios, by Curly Burris. Fernwood also recorded the Cactus Record label. DJ Sheriff Tex Davis, heard Vincent, and became their manager much to Parker’s dismay, because Parker payed off Davis to stop Pepper Hot Baby from radio airplay. Phil Gray actually opened a few local gigs for the Blue Caps, but he left and went to TN to record for Marty Robbins. Phil Gray plays on several of the Robbins 45’s.
Mr. Phil Gray does not own a copy of this 45, and had not seen one since the 50’s. It is a fascinating story, as this is a truly unique opportunity to take a glimpse back into the heyday of Rock N Roll and Rockabilly music.
