  2. So there were two different pressings of "Benzedrine Blues," one with a black label, the other red...so it must have sold decently...

  3. Great fun. Thanks.

    Other than Benzedrine Blues, I'm not sure where the other three tunes came from -- "Tennessee Saturday Night" isn't listed with the "Royalty" issues, and I couldn't identify the two instrumentals. So I'll just consider them a wonderful bonus.

  4. Thanks for the Update Bob, relaeses by The Texas Rythm Riders are to be found in ROYALTY (2).

    Sorry about the player, I seem to have accidently created a playlist, I'm trying to sort it out. "Tennessee Saturday Night" is designated for use with ROYALTY (2), the two instrumentals are for use with PERSONALITY / ROYALITY.
