Been collecting old 45rpm records for a while and ripping them via the modern black magick of the usb turntable. Here's an old soul/rockabilly/blues number for starters:
Betty James - I'm A Little Mixed Up (Cee-Jay Records)
Betty was a night club singer (and song writer, as she wrote this one) from Baltimore, MD; her husband also played guitar in the group. She was discovered by budding record entrepreneurs (who later founded the great NYC based Carnival record label) Joe Evans and Bobby Johnson. The single was released by their New York label Cee Jay and the song became a local hit, where it popped up on the radar of Chess records who licensed it for national release. Betty released two more singles for Chess then disappeared.
Git it!
