Yep, this is definitely the type of record DJ Shadow would sample for sure.

Man this tune is rare. I couldn't even find a youtube refrence, till this year. Now I think the boot has ,either,  1.heighten its awarness or 2 cheapened it's rareaty. What yawl think?

Well,if its rare its rare..why would a bootleg cheapen that?..It's always gonna be the original that any serious collector will want at the end of the day .

45's..the crack cocaine of record collecting, hehe..

But what a DARK TUNE EH ! Any idea where it was recorded. It's sounds like a deep south recording. I love a wrist slasher, as a pal of mine said " it's such a foot dragger it would take half an hour to get to the bar"🙄

Can see it might have some curiosity value but it's a terrible record.

There's a Tramp reissue. Not sure if there's a bootleg too.

Not really a soul record though, but I do like it.

Interesting tune, unusual production and very atmospherric, could image this getting plays.even if he does sound like elvis!

my thoughts, artist going for an Elvis vibe

He didn't look like Elvis

Sounds like Elvis backed by Ravi Shankar. A proper industrial strength wrist slasher.
