I've got "Last Night" ahead of "Hideaway," and also I have "Night Train" by JB ahead of both. Dean considers that an instrumental, but I don't. It was on this album in 1961:

https://www.bsnpubs.com/king/04king700/771.jpg

771 - James Brown Presents His Band Featuring Night Train - James Brown & Others [1961] Original title and cover. Issued in mono only. All tracks are instrumentals except "Night Train" which is basically instrumental with James Brown reciting names of cities. Hold It (version 1) - James Brown (2:13)/The Scratch - James Brown (1:43)/Night Train (version 1) - James Brown (3:35)/The Wobble - Wobblers (2:08)/Night Flying - James Brown (2:40)/Just A Little Bit Of Everything - Herb Hardesty (2:28)//Doin' Everything - Henry Moore (2:25)/Suds - James Brown (2:18)/Tonk Game - Hank Marr (2:40)/Switch-A-Roo - Henry Moore (2:40)/Bushy Tail - Clifford Scott (2:30)/Cross Firing - James Brown (2:18)

Wow! Sorry I dunno what happened earlier- pressed the wrong key I guess :)

OK now where was I before I was so rudely interupted? Oh yeah......

7. TEQUILA, The Champs (1958)

My #3 fave instrumental of 1958 (after “Rebel Rouser” and “Rumble”

Amazing to think that Challenge Records would put their weight behind “Train To Nowhere” as the initial “A” side of this single

11. EARTH ANGEL, The Penguins (1954-55)

One of the rarest 45's of the era on London label release here. Fetches four figure sum easy these days

17. LET’S TWIST AGAIN, Chubby Checker (1961)

When the twist revival came round in '62 it was this one--not "The Twist"---that reached #1 over on these shores

24. SEA OF LOVE, Phil Phillips & The Twilights (1959)

Covered very successfully over here (but in an inferior version) by UK teen idol Marty Wilde.Reached #3 on NME chart

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQgbpnE_4TQ

25. SPANISH HARLEM, Ben E. King (1960-61)

Tho I rate “Stand By Me” as his best solo record “Spanish Harlem” comes in a good second

31. POON-TANG, The Treniers (1952)

Never liked this one much nor most of the Treniers’ other things either. One that did stand out for me was their “Rockin’ On A Sunday Night” from earlier in 1952

33. RED HOT, Billy Lee Riley (1957)

One of the many classics of Sun records and IMO better even than the Billy “The Kid” Emerson original version (also on Sun)

34. BRING IT TO JEROME, Bo Diddley (1955)

Over here we first got this in 1956 on this London label EP

https://www.45cat.com/record/reu1054

Check that price tag!

36. GLORIA, The Cadillacs (1954)

Glorious more like! Their best ever IMO (thanks Val for turning me on to this and many more doowop classics)

38. FEVER, Little Willie John (1956)

Much as I love this LWJ original I also like the later Peggy Lee revival and whilst I don’t normally go that big on lyrics I must admit she does add some decent ones of her own

41. HONKY TONK (Parts 1 & 2), Bill Doggett’s Combo (1956)

My #1 fave instrumental of 1956.King followed it up with a vocal version (Tommy Brown doing the honours)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E7XAW1Jl9A

42. WILL YOU LOVE ME TOMORROW, The Shirelles (1960-61)

One of my all time favorite girl group records (and one of Carole King’s best songs)

I prefer this as originally recorded without the editing that moved the middle of the recording to the beginning. That released version sounded off to me somehow, and we eventually found out why. They moved the middle to the beginni9ng because they wanted Bo's voice to be heard at the start. Diane prefers it was released in 1955, but not me. The one at the link below is THE version as far as I am concerned.

I'm with Diane on this one

This "original" is interesting but the 1955 release is so very familiar and so 22just sounds more "natural" to me.

Funny, because the problem I always had with the regular released version was that it NEVER sounded natural to me. I always felt that something was off about how the record started and flowed but I never thought about the recording having been edited like it was. When I finally heard the track the way that it was really done in the studio I knew right away that they had spliced things together for some reason. Later I read what their reasoning was. I'm just glad we were able to get the actual unedited recording after like 60 years.
