Johnny Burnette Trio - Tear it Up

Brothers Johnny and Dorsey Burnette and Paul Burlison, made up J

ohnny Burnette and the Rock'n'Roll Trio.

Tear it up was released in June 1956 in the States and like most classic 50's tracks failed to chart....anywhere!

Little Richard - She's got it

Little Richard get the honour of being my first post of 2012.

She's got it is my favourite Richard track. It was released in 1956 and made it to No 15 in the UK chart, it failed to chart in the US, for some reason but did reach No 9 in the US R&B chart.

Gene Vincent and his Bluecaps - Race with the Devil

Released in 1956 as the follow up to Gene's first 45 Be-Bop-A-Lula,  reached US No 96!, but faired better in the UK reaching No 28.

Wanda Jackson - I Gotta Know

Great song from the Queen of Rockabilly. I gotta Know reached No15 in the US Country chart in 1956.

The Cochran Brothers - I'm Ready

Yes that's Eddie Cochran on the left, one of my all time favourites.
