LOOK OUT MABEL * G. 'DAVEY' CROCKETT * CHARLY 127 * UK

George "Davy" L. Crockett cut his first record Look Out Mabel for Mel London's Chief label, situated at 1510 Thirteenth Street Chicago, in 1958, then never recorded again until several years later. Look Out Mabel  was reissued again in 1965 on the USA label # 816, then another take of the song from the first session was released on the Checker label in October that same year; it is this second take that is featured on the above EP from the Triple Dynamite series.

N.B. The photograph on the sleeve is Tarheel Slim, and not G. Crockett.
