1949?

I'm surprised this did not make your list since Larry put it on YT.

Never liked this guy nor his wimpy big hit (nor in the later Tommy Roe
version)

Sugar Shack - Jimmy Gilmer & Fireballs

I've voiced my opinion on this one many times over the years. Nothing
has changed

I'm So Crazy For Love - Cap-Tans
Don't Forbid Me - Boone

Both of these only just missed making my list

Yellow Hornet - Wally Mercer

Good but I like the topside better (good version of "Looped")

Hot Tamales - Counts

One of my favorites by them that only just missed my list

Transfusion - Nervous Norvus

Banned outright over here for "morbidity"---so not even issued. Mildly
amusing I guess but not near enough to make the list

Confidential - Sonny Knight

Another one that only just missed inclusion

Get A Job - Mills Brothers

Irrelevant cover once you have the Silhouettes original

Chills And Fever - Ronnie Love

Another one I never really warmed to. Originally on Startime label as by
Johnny
Love

My Baby Didn't Come Home - Harmonica Fats

EXCELLENT number that I'd definitely include if it was from our period
but it's 1966. Do you know where this appeared originally? (can't be a
Dot original surely?)

Stay And Love Me All Summer - Brian Hyland
Yesterday When I Was Young - Roy Clark

Don't care for either and again both well outside our timelines

It's no more wimpy and less so than some Buddy Holly records that you
love, like "True Love Ways" and "Everyday."

My Baby Didn't Come Home - Harmonica Fats

Seems to be an original Dot. It was booted in the UK and the boot is on
a Dot promo.

Obviously our ideas of what's wimpy or not have some big differences

Who booted it do you know?

I'm curious why you would have "Susie Darlin'" as more wimpy than "True
Love Ways?" To me all the violins on "TLW" make it far more wimpy.

I have no idea even who the UK bootleggers were. I just see it in the
Discogs database. They have it as a 2015 release, so it may have been
put out by some newer guy that you don't even know of.

As I've said on here time out of number violins where and when used
judiciously
don't bother me at all. What DOES bother me is guys like Robin Luke with
their twee little voices on slushy little throwaway songs

Yeah if its that late a release then I'm not gonna know who was active
in the booting field here in 2015.
