Description
BEFORE THE "DIGITAL AGE" (WE ARE TALKING EARLY 1970'S HERE), AND IF YOU WERE ON THE PROWL FOR "OBSCURE" ROCK & ROLL, SOME COLLECTORS OBLIGED AND PUT OUT "BOOTS" TO ACCOMMODATE THE HUNGRY LISTENER. YOU ARE BIDDING ON AN EARLY ONE (PRESSED IN AUSTRALIA, I THINK) ENTITLED "ROCKED UP-JUMPED UP ROCK & ROLL" ON THE ROCKET 88 LABEL. IT IS A "VARIOUS ARTISTS" LP, BUT IT FEATURES JERRY LEE LEWIS ON THE FRONT OF THE ALBUM SLEEVE AND HIS ONE TRACK ON THE LP IS "IN THE MOOD" (THE INSTRUMENTAL HE RECORDED AS "THE HAWK").
ODD SELECTION OF SONGS:
"DRIVE IN MOVIE" MICKEY GILLEY
"DRUGSTORE ROCK & ROLL" JANIS MARTIN
"ROCK YOUR LITTLE BABY TO SLEEP" BUDDY KNOX
"FLIRTY GERTIE" THE JIV-A-TONES
"MR & MRS ROCK 'N' ROLL" BOBBY DAY
"SPUTNIK" JERRY ENGLER
"THE CATEPILLAR CRAWL" THE STRANGERS
"THE PICK UP" CONWAY TWITTY
"ROCKIN' BANDIT" RAY SMITH
"OKIE'S IN THE POKIE" JIMMY PATTON
"BUCHANAN AND GOODMAN ON TRIAL" (!?!?)
I CAN NOT ATTEST TO THE "SONIC QUALITY" OF THIS LP, AS IT IS "VISUALLY GRADED". THE ALBUM SLEEVE HAS TWO AREAS REPAIRED WITH SCOTCH TAPE WHERE THERE WERE "SEAM SPLITS (IN THE CENTER OF THE TOP AND BOTTOM SEAM), ALONG WITH A COUPLE OF SMALL BENT CORNERS. OTHERWISE, THE SLEEVE IS CLEAN. THE MARKINGS ON THE RECORD ARE MORE INDICATIVE OF THE QUALITY OF THE PRESSING RATHER THAN ANY OVERUSE OR "NEEDLE ABUSE" (IN OTHER WORDS, A CLASSIC BOOT PRESSING!). I'LL GRADE IT VG+ AND CALL IT A DAY. (ROCKET 88 RECORDS, CATALOG # RLP-5001, POSSIBLY PRESSED IN AUSTRALIA, 33 1/3 RPM).
