Hey! Baby/ Big Daddy of the Bayou

Originally released on Smash 1731. Here's a very special release from Collectables, now out of print. The A side is, of course, Channel's huge hit from 1962, whose importance in rock'n'roll is acknowledged by Dave Marsh's ranking at #123 out of 1,001 top singles of the rock era. But on the flip is another terrific recording, which had also been released on 45 by other Louisiana rockabilly artists in the early 1960's. Channel's version, from what I can gather, never before appeared on 45 rpm or on LP/CD. So this old Collectables release appears to be the only source! By the way, the A side is in the original Mono mix, and the B side is full Stereo.
