| "5" Royales in hot pink, 1 Lowman Pauling with Guitar Face |
This post is largely motivated by the recent circulation on the interwebz of the above photo. I mean, check it OUT! Pink dinner jackets! A black lacquer Duo Jet! Guitar Face! For the full run-down on R&B guitar legend L.P. & The "5" Royales, see the Hound's great post on the subject. Oh yeah, and these two records kill.

Slummer The Slum is a great track. Interestingly, the version on 2008's Oxford American music cd is about 15 seconds longer, with a 15 second guitar solo starting around 0:40. This version doesn't have that. According to allmusic.com, their 1959 album featured a version of the song that clocked in at under 2 minutes, just like yours posted here. I wonder where the longer version was first released?
Two versions, now double down jetydo!
