Time for the the flip side of this one, by Sax Man Brown & The Broomdusters.
Golden smokey blues that invokes cinematic memories of old.

The Sounds - "So Unnecessary"

Here is the equally cheesy B side to "Cold Chills", which I posted back in June of 2011.
More 50s doo wop stuff. TGIF!

Sax Man Brown - "Sax Symphonic Boogie"

Man this joint is jumpin'! If this song does not make you move then someone better check your pulse.
This is a classic cut and was released on both 45 and 78 RPM records in the fall of 1955 on Meteor. HERE is a website with the story of the label. I always loved the label design with it's astronomical and music note artwork.
Here's Bep "Sax Man" Brown and The Broomdusters,with Round House Boogie aka Sax Symphonic Boogie.

Jimmy Beasley & The Rockers - Johnny's House Party Pts. 1 & 2

I think this was one of dad's all-time favorite 78s in his collection and was enjoyed at many a partying occasion.

Released on Modern Records in February of 1957.

The Sounds - Cold Chills

The Sounds, recorded for the Bihari Brothers' Modern Records. The first record, "Cold Chills"/"So Unnecessary" was released in November 1955. The second, a cover of the Colts' "Sweet Sixteen," backed with "Anything For You," came out in January 1956. All the sides were led by Bobby Byrd. 
I never really cared for this one much as I am not a huge doo-wop vocals fan, but it's one of dad's 45s, so here it is! He also had this on a 78 as well.
