  • Remake, not a cover

    From Bruce@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 7 16:45:32 2024
    Not a cover, but hard to believe.

    Late 1956 Imperial released this remake of one of the label's big hits from the past:

    What rating do you give it?

    I can't decide if it's awful or if it's a halfway decent pop version.

    How about this version of "Goin' Home" from just two years later (1958)?

    And again on Imperial label too!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVjHpwbXnfY

    As seen in the YT clip it's just one number from a whole LP dedicated to The Fat Man

    Here's the track listing

    A1 My Blue Heaven
    A2 Blueberry Hill
    A3 I'm In Love Again
    A4 I'm Walkin'
    A5 It's You I Love
    A6 Goin' Home
    B1 Bo Weevil
    B2 When My Dreamboat Comes Home
    B3 Blue Monday
    B4 Wait And See
    B5 Ain't That A Shame
    B6 Poor Me

    Not bad. Same arrangement as the Fats.
