Drinking Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee ¦ Johnny Burnette Trio (came out on a single

Great version!! IIRC this was in the March 2023 Obscurities contest
(nominated by Carl) and won that
contest. It also won the year end "Champions" contest.
And yes, Coral put it out on a single in August 1957 as the flipside to
one I never cared for much---from the last Burnette Coral session in
1957 --"Butterfingers"
Rock Billy Boogie ¦ Johnny Burnette (came out as a single in late 1957)
I might have used this one if it hadn't also been out later on a US
single
Paralyzed ¦ Elvis Presley
When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again ¦ Elvis Presley
These two Elvis classics went back to back on a UK HMV label single in
August 1957

Love Me ¦ Elvis Presley
Taken from Elvis' second LP "Elvis" this charted via an EP in the
USA---that may just be the biggest selling EP of all time (unless maybe
The Beatles outdid it? )
Over here "Love Me" (my favorite ballad by him BTW) was on an HMV single
b/w "Mystery Train"

I Flipped ¦ Gene Vincent & His Blue Caps
My second choice Vincent entry would have been "Jumps Giggles & Shouts"
also from the "Bluejean Bop" LP
(that was also on as UK-only single)
