  1. Hi,
    I am puzzled by "Red Beans and Rice" which is credited to Jackson, Jones, Dunn, Cropper aka Booker T & the MGs. That song was recorded by Brian Auger in the late sixties, it can't possibly be the same song, Booker T & MGs weren't around in 1957.

    1. Quite right, boogieman - thanks. You've caught us out in some carelessness. Corrected above - he did write all four tunes - but cannot correct the credit tag without re-uploading. Folks will have to do this for themselves if they wish.
