"If You Can't Rock Me" was the 'B' side of a single by Rockabilly band The Strikes titled "Baby I'm Sorry" that came out in 1956. The song by The Strikes I wanted to play was titled "My Poor Heart," and was nowhere to be found on YouTube, but that's fine, because this song rocks!
I read they were not happy to have the label read Vocal by THE THREE PELVES"
This record had little success, and the group was only together about a year, but because of the big Rockabilly resurgence in England in the 70's, it was re-released in the UK in 1975 to a much more appreciative crowd.
That's pretty good rockabilly. My wife's uncle passed in March and he left me about 4000 albums, and 40,000 45s. He was a big fan of rockabilly and there is A BUNCH as well as late-'60s-early-70s garage and psych. Lots of Sun records. He was also a big fan of female vocals and there are 3 crates of albums of just that, one of The Beatles, 3 of Elvis, lots of jazz, especially drummers, two of Frank Sinatra.

ReplyDeleteNice score!
ReplyDeleteSorry though, to hear about your wife's Uncle's demise. He must have been quite a guy if he had forty thousand 45's. I see a lot of Discogs in your future.
