Val Shively's photo galleries were noted in Charlie Horner's latest newsletter:

http://www.valshively.com/

I glanced through only the first one...that was enough. LOL

Now, don't get me wrong...when you look at all those people that spend all day (or most of it) looking at smartphone, or so into whatever they're using it for, this kind of intensity, once the province of eccentrics, is now the vogue, or norm.

This was never on Backbeat

"Pizza Pie"/'"Dream Girl" was on Capitol 4128 but apparently was only
available for a short while and was withdrawn when Don Robey began
litigation and proved that the group were still legally under contract
to him

The Capitol release is clearly visible in the photo BTW

That's what I was thinking, but since he had a number there I figured
he must know what he's talking about.

IIRC Backbeat 499 was a Rascio boot from the early 70's pairing two
previously unreleased Rob-Roys sides "Lover Doll"/"Do-Re-Mi" (some
pressings have "Little Star" in place of "Do-Re-Mi")

Recorded late 1954, but not released until April 1, 1955 on Philadelphia-based
Gotham G-7-309, with underage lead Terry (born Isaiah, aka 'Buzzy') Johnson
(from Baltimore). Terry also wrote and arranged this song.

On RateYourMusic this record is ranked #707 for 1955.

"On Christmas Eve of 1956, Terry Johnson accepted an invitation to join the
Flamingos, replacing the military-bound Johnny Carter"...

Sorry folks, and thanks for the correction, Roger - I was relying on my mp3 tag.
I did attempt to cross check the labels in the photo with my mp3 file names, but
clearly I must have unwittingly skipped this particular record.
