my Dad's singles collection.... - CRAZY-HORSE - 30-05-2015
ERNIE K-DOE "te-ta-te-ta-ta" B/W "real man" 1961
all i remembered from this New Orleans native was "mother-in-law" and im not alone
as it was his only real hit...
i like both sides here, but i prefer the "B" side over the "A" side for some reason(maybe its that stupid title...lol!)
this one did,however, make it to #27 in the UK charts...
here's his short Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernie_K-Doe

JOHNNY FERGUSON "angela jones" B/W "blue serge and white lace" 1959
i cannot find any info on this single or on the artist....
all i can find is that it was written by John D Loudermilk who recorded his own version several years later...
"A" side is a lovely light pop song
"B" side a little more country orientated than the "A" side, it is also written by Loudermilk

Elvis Costello had a minor UK hit in the mid 1980s covering the "A" side....
i love his version also,here it is if youre interested....
the video for Elvis' version is terrible IMO, but theres no denying his talent and class.

TOM JONES "whats new,pussycat" B/W "the rose" 1965
im a huge fan of Tom but......
i cannot stand this "A" side, its so cheesy and corny IMO...
"B" side is a ballad, i should love this one but i cannot stand it...
allup a disappointing release for me from Tom,
but it did manage to get to #1 on the UK charts so what do i know!

ERUPTION "one way ticket" B/W "left me in the rain" 1979
German disco outfit....
sound a lot like Boney-M to me....
"A" side is a cover of the Neil Sedaka classic, i love Neil's original(as i do a lot of his material)...
even htough this is disco i do like their version of the song also...
"B" side...typical disco, and typically, i do not like disco!
single peaked at #9 in Australia....
