Jack O’ Diamonds

Ruth “Miss Rhythm” Brown’s “Jack O’ Diamonds” was on the pop chart in June 1959.  Released on Atlantic 2026, the flip side was “I Can’t Hear A Word You Say.”

Well, that’s it.  That’s all of the mid-1959 to mid-1960 78s I have for now.  If more late 78s are unearthed in the future, or if anyone has any more to contribute, I will try to add them in the future.  I never could find a picture of Bo Diddley’s “Crawdad” on 78, so if anyone has an image of that, or anything else good, please send it in.  Thanks for viewing.

Everything Gonna Be Alright

From July 1959 here is Little Walter’s “Everything Gonna Be Alright” backed with “Back Track” on Checker 930.  Again here is Checker trying to use up their different styles of labels at the end of 78 production.

Back In The U.S.A.

“Back In The U.S.A.” by Chuck Berry on Chess 1729 was issued in June 1959, and was a minor Top 40 hit for Berry.  The “B” side was “Memphis, Tennessee.”  I once was a proud owner of this 78.

Got To Cry

James Brown and the Famous Flames’ “Got To Cry” b/w “It Was You” was issued on Federal 12364 in October 1959.

Our Anniversary

From July 1959 here’s “Our Anniversary” b/w “I’m Your Slave” by the Fiestas on Old Town 1069.

All Your Love

In July 1959 Cobra records released their issue no. 5032, “All Your Love” backed with “My Baby’s A Good’un” by Otis Rush.  “All Your Love,” which features a spine-tingling guitar solo, is not the same “All Your Love” that was on the same Cobra label two years before.
