Cool! I did that too, my parents had Wake Up Little Susie on 45 but I can't remember if it was the Everly Brothers' version or Buddy Holly & the Crickets (?)

I STILL have the 45. But the unfortunate thing is, it's the short version...remember when they released edited versions as singles? Remember singles? Remember when there were Chambers Brothers, Isley Brothers, Brothers Johnson, Dr. Joyce Brothers? Does anybody remember laughter? I think this song is causing a drug flashback...and I didn't even take the drugs in the first place.

You had to be there to really like this song.

When I was growing up, I would constantly raid my mother's vast collection of 45's and albums. Still do every chance I get.

CRAP it is, the ROLLING STONES they are not.

Goosebumps

This song annoys the crap out of me but I can see how others would like it. It has an original and instantly recognizable sound so I'll give it a 5. I wish I liked the song more though.

Regarding the drummer being white, that is...

Yeah, not only white, but I remember, he was a redhead. I met him once - in bed with my roommate when they played DC in 1969. (We shared a studio - pretty strange situation. He was cool about it. He and my date talked sports for a while.)

i heard this song once, just once, when I was a kid, and it was so memorable I have been waiting to hear it again and of course find out what it was ever since. can't believe it took me that long, but I'm stoked. thanks, rp.

TIME!

One of the all-time greats. Thanks.

One of the first 45s I remember, too. My friend's older brother had this and Secret Agent Man by Johnny Rivers...what a weird pair of singles...nevertheless, we played them over and over until you could almost see through the grooves! Ah, the memories of the aged...

I saw them when I was 16, 1968 at the Flushing Meadows Singer Bowl (from the 1964 Worlds Fair). They were with the Soft Machine, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. My first concert - quite a show to start off with.

I had this on 45 when it first came out. Anyone remember 45's? You needed that round thingy to put in the center to play on turntables. Anyone remember turntables?

Had the album . . . used to turn it on loud when babysitting my younger sister. Scared the heck out of her. I was mean!
