Description
RARE 45 rpm Pacific NW rock & roll: JIMMY (STAGGER LEE) SMITH - Memphis (Chuck Berry) / Stagger Lee (Chuck Berry) - Rexius Records, RR 5051, label based in Portland, Oregon; no date but circa the 1970's. I can't find any other copies of this either currently available for sale, or listed on any completed-auction sites. HEAR BOTH SIDES NOW on my facebook page ("Hamspapershack") - video sounds crap but you'll get the idea. Good versions of both songs, both sound like they were recorded well before the 1970's, I love the sloppy drumming, and "Stagger Lee" has cool snare drum cracks at the points in the song where Stagger Lee shoots Billy. Funny to see Chuck Berry get the credit for this 120-year-old song, though it may be based on Berry's version.
Condition: VG+/VG (VG+ A-side with some minor scuffs, plays VG+ to EX; B-side is VG with some heavier scuffs and soft scratches, and plays VG with some background and soft ticks; minimal label rubbing).
