The Squares - Davey's Drag

Sax rocker with a guitar break from the squares on the Bristol records label. This is sort of a doo-wop rocker and a bit of a garage/surf rocker. Maybe caught in between? The year i found on the web is 1959. I don't know.... I got nothing. I've been sick and tired and i'm bored so i pulled this out while cataloging some records and decided to download. Maybe someone has some info? If not enjoy anyway.

The Squares - Davey's Drag

The Voxpoppers - The Last Drag

Ok, here is something i definitely don't do enough of over here considering i have thousands of 50's rockin' 45's and this here is one of my faves.

This goes out to my man over at Blues For The Redboy and he knows why....

This is the 1st pressing on AMP before Mercury records scooped up the band and put the same cut out in 1958. I found this a while back out in PA for cheap cheap cheap, after owning the only the Mercury 45 for a while now.

Info was pretty scarce but i did dig up a discussion about the band on the One Hit Wonder message board. Looks like they were from Canarsie, NY.
