RECORDED IN HOLLYWOOD

Hol-202 45-rpm-EP R&B series

A Side
Beware - Jesse Belvin and the Capris
Messin' Around - Joe Turner
B Side
Sleepless Nights - Roy Hawkins
Lies. Lies, Lies - Annisteen Allen


Way back in my teenage days the most exciting part of my day was smootching with my current squeeze to a cool Doo Wop or R&B record.
And this little piece of vinyl was a perfect compliment to that activity.
Jesse Belvin had one of the best voices around at the time and would no doubt gone on to greater heights had he and his wife not been killed in a car crash in 1960.  More information on Jesse Belvin can be found here

The Joe Turner and Roy Hawkins tracks keep the feel of slow R&B pace of a romantic evening flowing, before ending with Annisteen Allen's cool little jiver which makes a perfect ending to a cool little EP.
Unfortunately this release falls into the Bootleg catergory. After searching the internet I came up with nothing on this vinyl EP. I had some help from 45rpm at RockHall and he came up with the same opinion. Oh well never mind, but I'm still mighty pleased I have a copy.

  3. Most definitely a boot. There was a whole series of em put out in the 70s/80s (I think) and all used classic r&b label mock ups. None ever had a cover. There never seemed to be much rhyme or reason to the tracks selections but at the time, there was no other way to get many of these recordings.

    1. I was buying vinyl from specialist shops in the late 70's and early 80's. It's seems half my collection of 45's are bootlegs!
