Ain't Got No Home/ Troubles, Troubles

This 1956 classic was Clarence "Frog Man" Henry's first and, some think, best single, which Dave Marsh includes at #665 in his list of the 1,001 greatest singles of Rock'n'Soul. This is, after all, the song that gives meaning to his nickname, as he demonstrates that he really "Can sing like a girl, and ... like a frog!" Note that this was a non-album single; Henry's only Argo album was in 1961. Note: It's hard to find this Argo label in Near Mint condition, but the A side of this copy comes very close (see scan). The vinyl looks Near Mint with just a few light scuffs and outer-edge wear. Again, I'm tempted to grade the audio Near Mint, as the light surface noise that exists is mostly inaudible after the brief intro, but overall it comes down to a strong EX... still quite great, with no distortion.
