Lend Me Your Comb--Carl Perkins
Great stuff! I guess this was a hit for Ed 'Kookie' Byrnes and Connie Stevens in '59. A 'Wake Up Little Susie' rip.
Yo nick--any chance of digging up that version?

carl's songs were just novelty numbers for lennon and mccartney. george took them seriously.
boys was better than honey don't.
if only george had believed in the brill instead of the hopalong cassidy shite imagine how great the beatles would have been.

Oh...it's a different song. Extra cool points for the word 'ginchy-est'.

we sort of didn't get it way back than but kookie was as gay as a catholic priest. like, you have connie stevens asking for your "comb" ( get it?) and you let her know she's way off base.
check out that limp wrist on the album cover.

nick... glenn... anyone... I'd like to hear Fever as it was originally recorded by Little Willie John in a different arrangement I've been told, than recorded later by Peggy Lee and all the other cunts including the King. Thanks.

wow! WOW!!! and he was only 19 when he recorded Fever??? And the other song - I instantly had an image of me back in 1992, aged 14, looking in one music shop for the first time this bootleg called "beatles - ultra rare trax", I think it was John who sang the Kitten...
thanks a million.
