I slghtly prefer the song I used ("Juanita" - #805 on my 1958 list and a
7) but this one is a goodie too
(#835 and a 7). Still remember spending most of my weeks wages on the
"Oh Suzy Q" LP at Imhofs in central London (big record store at the time
that also sold US Import albums--the LP was never released here)

From "King Creole" of course. #344 and a 7

"Ollie Vee" was a single, but the one Roger listed is an alternate take
of the same song. "King Creole" was a single in several other countries,
but not here. But is was number one on a lot of radio stations and was
being played from an EP.

'Twas an RCA single here in UK (b/w "Dixieland Rock") that got to #2 in
NME on October 18 1958 (kept off the #1 spot by Connie Francis and
"Stupid Cupid")
