Thurston Harris: Do What You Did (Aladdin, 1958)This is a sensational record, a furious, walloping great smash in the kisser of a rock and roll record that has a brilliant vocal hook, a massed angelic choir, a lunatic drummer, some exemplary reverb tricks, a saxophone solo that makes your bones feel rather softer and more liquid than usual and a lyrical content - "Do what you did what when the lights were low, just me and you and the radio, do what you did when you did what you done last night, to me!" - that, once again, seems to suggest some sort of awfulness has occurred between Thurtson and a young lady, perhaps after a "hop" or somesuch. Anyway, I stole Harris' track wholesale from this which is, literally, a quite good record.
