KB-743A - Side One

I'm guessing that this copy here is a repress as the dates don't match at all.

Listed in the late 70's as "Primitive Rock-A-Billy", I've never seen or heard it since. Thanks to Dean, here are the label shots and he sent the music as well! Ok, primitive is right with very sparse backing - both sides are pretty good vocally and have a nice rhythm to the songs. Remind me a little of the Dotson Brothers on Janet Records. 

But "Primitive Rock-A-Billy"? Nah, not really.

KB-703 - FUTURE 2201

FIVE SPOTS  feat Don Glenn
Mar 58   (BB = 31 Mar 58)
KB-703A - Get With It   (Earl Barton Music)
KB-703B - It’s You (Who Stole My Heart Away)   (Earl Barton Music)
FUTURE 2201
Batesville, AR  (Earl Barton)

(Record pressed by Kay Bank - Labels by King. There maybe more than one pressing of this disc. Session directed by Billy Walker.)

Both sides are terrific rockers from Earl Barton's label. I don't believe the Five Spots have anything to do with the band of the same name who appeared on Soma Records.
