I've just been listening to the vocal of this tune online, I think from the 'Whose Muddy Shoes' Lp / CD, which I understand was released in 1969. I first heard it many years ago and have only just remembered to look into this recording in more detail.

A little bit of research has revealed that it was also released as an instrumental, in April 1960 on Chess Lp CH 1537.

Can anybody confirm the above, perhaps with further information to back it up?

Does anybody have a soundbyte of the instrumental?

Also, does anybody know if the tune came out as a 45, instrumental or vocal?

All comments would be most welcome.

Denbo,

There's only one version that I know of - the vocal version. It was recorded by Chess in April 1960 but was unissued until 1968 or 1969 when it was issued on this Blue Horizon LP. Chess issued it in 1970 on the LP Whose Muddy Shoes (LP 1537).

I've never seen a 45 of it.

Thanks very much. That was a perfect reply.

Very happy to see it released on a UK label Lp as I like collecting English label releases when I can / when they're available.

Thanks again.

Ressurecting this thread - this tune came out on Down Home records as a 45 - I'm still looking for one....
