Md Records Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 The track on the other side of the mis press I had was definately not "Memory lane", but some rockabilly number - how bizarre. Des Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Soul-slider Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) Don sounds like a pub singer compared to Eddy Hughes Dave f............... Pub singer!!?? Yeah, that's where he's been! I always compere Don Hysong to Dean Martin...he sounds hammered! Great song though! Edited February 6, 2009 by Soul-Slider Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Robbk Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Clearly Hysong's version was a demo for Eddie Hughes' commercial release. I'm sure Hysong's being pressed up on Bard was just an extremely small "vanity" pressing. I really doubt that more than 100 were pressed. Back in the day, I remember seeing a reasonable number of The Eddy Hughes record both in Detroit and Chicago, but never saw the Don Hysong. I really doubt that Bard thought they could get Hysong's played on Pop stations, and could sell it to Pop fans. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
