Norton Records has issued 14 "unreleased takes" of Sun recordings to newly pressed 45s.

These titles are available from a number of sources but well recommended (I first heard them at a bar in Amersterdam).

"Fourteen giant massive brain busting Sun label scarcities! Twenty eight humongous sides all in superb Sun/Norton sleeves! Think you've heard 'em all? Try again with this batch of brain scorchin' Memphis fryers!"

841 CARL PERKINS Her Love Rubbed Off/ KEN COOK Problem Child

842 DICK PENNER Move Baby Move/RAY GARDEN This Chick

843 JIMMY WAGES Take Me From This Garden Of Evil/TOMMY BLAKE Better Believe It

844 WARREN SMITH I Like Your Kind Of Love/ MACK VICKERY Fool Proof

845 HAROLD JENKINS Rock House/ Crazy Dreams

846 ROY ORBISON Domino/ GENE ROSS Everybody's Trying To Kiss My Baby

847 RAY HARRIS Come On Little Mama (alt take)/ JACK EARLS Take Me To That Place

848 MACK SELF I Vibrate/MACY SKIPPER Bop Pills

849 HAYDEN THOMPSON Fairlane Rock/ERNIE BARTON She's Gone Away

850 BILLY LEE RILEY She's My Baby/GENE SIMMONS Peroxide Blonde And A Hopped Up Model Ford

851 GLENN HONEYCUTT Rock All Night/JIMMY WAGES Miss Pearl

852 SONNY BURGESS We Wanna Boogie/Thunderbird

853 RAY HARRIS Lonely Wolf/JIMMY PRITCHETT That's The Way I Feel

854 CARL PERKINS Put Your Cat Clothes On/WARREN SMITH Stop The World

I know that Norton has also put out a Jerry Lee Lewis single with an outtake from High School Confidential (something like 3 or 4 false starts before he finally gets the intro right).

I went to a music festival in Memphis a few weeks ago where Jerry Lee Lewis and Billy Lee Riley performed.

Jerry Lee was still going strong, about the same as when I saw him 20 years ago. Billy Lee was a little slower, but gave an enjoyable performance nonetheless.
