1950's

1978

I prefer the A side 'Bop Like Carl' to 'Poni-Tails and Bobbi-Sox', mainly because Bill Jenkins plays all the instruments and it also has a more authentic sound to it. He is the man in charge of how the sound on this record comes across to the listener, in my opinion he nails it. 

In a way it puts me in mind of Ray Campi's 45rpm vinyl record releases on Ronny Weiser's Rollin' Rock record label in the mid to late 1970's.  I much preferred Ray playing all the instruments, as to Ray playing along with his band the Rockabilly Rebels, but that is another story.
