10 more obscurities chosen at random from my favorites lists

Today......from 1953

Lucky Joe Almond – Rock Me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDU1IZU3lmU

Pioneer hillbilly bop from a mainstay of Lillian McMurry’s Trumpet label operating out of jackson, Mississippi.One of the smallest record companies of the era yet also one of the more important since Trumpet was the first home of both Sonny Boy Williamson and also Elmore James (as “Elmo James” with “Dust My Broom”). “Rock Me” was the first of three releases that Joe had on the label

Adapted from the original “Rockin’ With Red” by Wille Perryman aka Piano Red aka Doctor Feelgood “Rock Me” became something of a hillbilly anthem when Little Jimmy Dickens recorded his version for Columbia later in 1953.

The Ambassadors – Darling I’m Sorry
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7axISfS3iE

Here’s The Ambassadors from Soprano-land---that is Newark,N.J with a very nice ballad “Darling I’m Sorry” on the Timely label (their initial release I believe). This is a really good double sider too with the rockin’ “Willa-Bea” on the flip. Sadly only issued on 78RPM but 45RPM copies were booted in later years

The Carols – Fifty Million Women
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaCc1BkytNk

Recorded in Detroit April 27 1953 the catchy bass-led “Fifty Million Women” was released by Savoy Records in Newark NJ

The Carols comprised Kenneth Duncan (ld tenor) William Davis (2nd tenor) Wilbert Tindle (baritone) Tommy Evans (bass) with Savoy’s own T.J “Wine Cooler” Fowler (pno),Dave Hamilton (gtr) Gene Taylor (bs) Clarence Stamps (dms)

Chicago Sunny Boy – Western Union Man
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6jaHO0MY-Q

Alias Joe Hill Louis,the one man band from Memphis puts in an appearance on Lester Bihari’s Meteor label (also out of Memphis) under the nickname “Chicago Sunny Boy” (possibly used as he may still have been under contact to Sam Phillips at Sun at this time)

The Five Blue Notes – Ooh Baby
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-gYx-ZQ45Q

My favorite side on a really good double-sider (the flip being “My Gal Is Gone”) recorded for Chance Records in Chicago and released in December 1953 on their Sabre subsidiary.

The ever reliable Unca Marvy has a concise review and lists their work (plus their work under their original “Blue Jays” name here
https://www.uncamarvy.com/5BlueNotes/5bluenotes.html

The Five Thrills – Feel So Good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeUOvG4PDNo

Not to be confused with the later group of that name who also recorded on End as “The Uniques” these Five Thrills hailed from The Windy City itself. Signed to Al Benson’s famous Parrot label they came out in 1953 with one of my favorite records of that year “Feel So Good”.

Comprising Gilbert Warren (lead) Oscar Robinson & Fred Washington (baritones).Obie Washington (2nd ten) Lew Jenkins (piano) they hit the Chicago r&b airwaves in 1953 with the song that just happened to bear remarkable similarity to The Five Keys’ “Serve Another Round” (and what’s so bad about that?).They had just the one more record on Parrot in 1954----“Wee Wee Baby”/”Gloria

And then---as B.B. King used to nearly say—the Thrills is gone

Honeyboy – Bloodstains On The Wall
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VC-hDye0-Cw

Originally hailing from Fostoria Alabama,Frank Patt moved to Los Angeles in 1952 soon hooking up with pianist Gus Jenkins (a fellow Alabamian) cutting his first record for Art Rupe’s Specialty label “Bloodstains On The Wall” a really dark and atmospheric blues about a blood soaked murder. Chilling stuff indeed and one of my favorite blues records ever

Benny Leaders & Western Rangers – Hey Miss Fannie

Fresh from his stint backing Link Davis on the original “Big Mamou” Leaders here…um….leads his combo from Western Swing a lot more in the direction of rock ‘n roll on the small OK’ed label of Los Angeles as they become pioneers in the matter of white guys playing and singing in this “new” idiom soon to become super popular with white American youth.

And what better material to choose to do it with than a great recent Clovers r&b hit.

The Magic Tones – Cool Cool Baby
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxvrdACuIQM&t=25s

Second ever release by Baltimore group The Magic Tones who comprised Joe “Rico” Reed (lead) Arthur “Boxy” Williams (tenor) James Williams (baritone) Willie “Ricky” Stokes (bass) Gene Hawkins (2nd tenor/guitar) for the King label in Cincinnati featuring a good rockin’ performance from the group punctuated by a pretty hot sax break. There’s a lot more on the group here in this Marv Goldberg writeup

https://www.uncamarvy.com/MagicTones/magictones.html

Moohah – All Shook Out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GME0J3N2PWc

Oddball answer record to the then enormous Faye Adams #1 r&b hit “Shake A Hand” by the long mysterious “Moohah”---generally reckoned to be the alias of D.J Mattis,radio station manager at WDIA in Memphis.

Mattis was probably instrumental in the operation of the tiny “Starmaker” label on which the “Moohah” record (78 only at the time) appears and had certainly been closely involved earlier in the setting up of the famous Duke label in Memphis---before being edged aside by erstwhile partner Don Robey of Houston. I can only trace two more releases on Starmaker.

In common with hundreds of other rarities on wax from this period the Moohah record was booted (this time on 45rpm) in the 70’s

Did not know it, worth keeping, although the piano break is hokey.

Tommy Evans was really good. Especially on "Suddenly There's A Valley" by the Drifters and on this:

I had no idea what it was about, but it is a unique and excellent record.

Their ballads are well liked by the hard core collectors.

I had a real good copy of the 78, sold it for $50. Great record.

Let's see what I can come up with for 1953.

As usual, with the record's ranking on my list from the year.

21 ¦ Just A Little Walk ¦ Bobby Marchan

https://youtu.be/4wV0s7BEguo?t=7

This might be the last 50s record That I did not discover until this century that became an instant 10.

62 ¦ Love Me Til Your Dying Day ¦ Muskateers

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

They were also the Serenaders, from Detroit. The Sparrows Quartet did a great version with Sal Mondrone on lead. Here's a short concert appearance by them in 2008. They close with "Love Me To Your Dying Day."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3S9Yj-9B10

68 ¦ 5 O'Clock Blues ¦ Memphis Slim

Not well known, but a great side here from his days at United Records.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fzrmr4-B3Fw

69 ¦ Cadillac Baby (unreleased master) ¦ Little Caeser

He had a big hit withy "Goodbye Baby" but this somehow went unissued back in '53.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2AQgxMdbVc

72 ¦ I Wanna Know ¦ Dolly Cooper

She covers the big hit by the Du Droppers, and to me it's much better than their version.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNeORj68DLw

77 ¦ Dynaflow ¦ Caverliers

A real street record.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7_MftvYOjQ

80 ¦ Rockin' At Midnight ¦ Five Thrills

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KSdFwylNhA

Another one from these guys. Not as good as "Feel So Good," but still excellent. They do the old Roy Brown song, it was unreleased. Same song as Robert Plants did with the Honeydrippers.

81 ¦ Move Me Baby ¦ Jimmy Witherspoon (Lamplighters)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM-5L426u_8

A killer from this unlikely combination.

82 ¦ Another Soldier Gone ¦ Voilinaires

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZefXA_wxdk

One of my favorite gospel records. On the rare Drummond label.

85 ¦ No Money ¦ Lil' Son Jackson

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xnaa4yEjgI

Most of Jackson's stuff sounds like it's from the 30s or 40s, with mainly just guitar, but this one has piano and horns.

It's good but I don't rate it near as high as you. It's a high 7 on my list (#291) with a 6 for the flip "Have Mercy"

> 62 ¦ Love Me Til Your Dying Day ¦ Muskateers

> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCrjiHTNpyE

Interesting clip thanks.IIRC I think Sal was at Val's one time when I was there but my memory is hazy

I have the Muskateers as a 7 (#345). On Roxy label right?

> 68 ¦ 5 O'Clock Blues ¦ Memphis Slim

> Not well known, but a great side here from his days at United Records.

> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fzrmr4-B3Fw

I like "The Come Back" side better (an 8 and #109) but but this one is also a lower 8 and #131

> 69 ¦ Cadillac Baby (unreleased master) ¦ Little Caeser

> He had a big hit withy "Goodbye Baby" but this somehow went unissued back in '53.

> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2AQgxMdbVc

Another 8 on my list and #94 in 1953. I haven't used unreleased stuff in these obscurities lists since I was proposing to do seperate lists of fave unreleased year by year later

> 72 ¦ I Wanna Know ¦ Dolly Cooper

> She covers the big hit by the Du Droppers, and to me it's much better than their version.

> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNeORj68DLw

Another nice one. Another 8 and #184 on the list

> 77 ¦ Dynaflow ¦ Caverliers

> A real street record.

#248 on my list and scores an 8

> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7_MftvYOjQ

> 80 ¦ Rockin' At Midnight ¦ Five Thrills

> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KSdFwylNhA

> Another one from these guys. Not as good as "Feel So Good," but still excellent. They do the old Roy Brown song, it was unreleased. Same song as Robert Plants did with the Honeydrippers.

#139 as listed and it's 8's all the way on these last few so far

> 81 ¦ Move Me Baby ¦ Jimmy Witherspoon (Lamplighters)

> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM-5L426u_8

> A killer from this unlikely combination.

Absolutely agree! #60 on my list and a 9. I should really have used it in my post on here

> 82 ¦ Another Soldier Gone ¦ Voilinaires

> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZefXA_wxdk

> One of my favorite gospel records. On the rare Drummond label.

An 8 and #217

> 85 ¦ No Money ¦ Lil' Son Jackson

> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xnaa4yEjgI

Okay methinks you need to retitle this one--its actually "Freight Train Blues" (Imperial 5229) released in March 1953. Exactly the same song was re-released as "No Money" in 1955 on the subsid Post label #2014. Both releases have "Lonely Blues" as the flipside

In that case I Have "Freight Train Blues" as a 7 and #577 on my 1953 list

Thanks for the reminder. I retitled the MP3 but forgot to do it on the written list.

A few others:

103 ¦ Sweetness ¦ Castelles

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu70dSfk_Zs

Excellent flip side of collector's classic "My Girl Awaits Me."

106 ¦ Hot Fish ¦ Sherman "Blues" Johnson & His Clouds Of Joy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18xjPvMIOYY

Diane turned me on to this one.

116 ¦ My Mind Is Working ¦ Varetta Dillard

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpS8zQfxEss

Odd Savoy record that's really good.

119 ¦ Baby ¦ Serenaders

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6iG5PtrO9c

The Detroit boys again.

123 ¦ Best Of Friends ¦ Dixie Doodlers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAt69QQVDR4

Very unique track on Excello. Sounds like it could be from 1933.

It was in the 1953 SINGLES BATTLE, voted/ranked 313 out of 780.

Suffixed with "(G)" in my digital collection, and still liking it, I
was going to list it; but I didn't because I have a personal rule for
this thread, being, *if* I can find 10 or more fave obscure records
that are *not* listed in that year's BATTLE then my intention is to
only list non-BATTLE records (yes, I know that a record might still be
considered obscure even if it *was* in a BATTLE...)

LOL....don't feel bad, I thought I found a couple of new things I liked in Geoff's playlist from this thread, and I had all of them already. Memories just don't work that well when you get to senior citizen status :-)

He lists:

ROADHOUSE (demos, as the Blue Jays, recorded March, 1953)
1004 Could I Adore You (AM)/Sweet Pauline (AM) - 72

I personally think "Could I Adore You" is gorgeous.

DianeE, are you referring to the 'sound out of the speaker',
the lyrics, or both?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uCi-6YobFE
(all copies on YT sound about the same, according to snippets)

Lyrics (99% accurate I reckon):

{tenor Andy Magruder, age 16}
{sounds a bit like Lillian Leech :-}

Could I Adore You, More In My Arms
I'm In A Trance, Made So By Your Charms
I Want To Hold You, Close In My Arms

Could I Adore You More

Could I Adore You, More In The Night
When The Moon, Is Shining So Bright
I'm Saying My Dear, That Guess I Love You
So Won't You Love Me Too

Dear I Want You To Know, That I Love You So
And Hope You Will Always Be Mine
But If You Went Away, Just For A Day
It Would Seem Like The End Of Time

So, I'll Ask You Again, So Hard I Have Tried
I've Even Sat Down, On My Bed And Cried
So Won't You Please Tell Me, Before You Close The Door
Could I Adore You More

{baritone Moise Vaughn, age c.18}
Dear, I Want You To Know, That I Love You So
Well I Hope That You'll Aways Be Mine
Would If You Went Away, Just For A Day
It Would Seem Like The End Of Time

{tenor Andy Magruder}
So, I'll Ask You Again, So Hard I Have Tried
I've Even Sat Down On My Bed And Cried
So Won't You Please Tell Me, Before You Close The Door
Could I Adore You More

{everybody sings in finale style}
Could I Adore You More

Certainly not the lyrics in this case. It's, oh, I don't know, let's
say the *plangency*. :)

> So Won't You Please Tell Me, Before You Close The Door
> Could I Adore You More
