[note: the following are the records that Steve wrote about for this article]

66. The Viceroys at Granny's Pad, The Viceroys (LP, Seafair/Bolo) 1963 (72)

More thumping R&B instrumentals from the Wailers' Tacoma. "Granny's Pad," "Tiger Shark" and "Get Set" are immortal. Outstanding lead guitarist Jim "Harpo" Valley went on to play in Don & the Goodtimes and Paul Revere & the Raiders (before settling into Jesus Freak Oblivion). The others morphed into the psychedelic Surprise Package.

90. "Like, Long Hair," Paul Revere and the Raiders (45, Gardena) 1961 (74)

Pounding piano, honking sax, fat guitar riffs and a "Tall Cool One." More Jerry Lee than Little Richard perhaps, but still an early child of the Wailers. The cover alone SCREAMS rock 'n' roll! I stared at it on record shop walls for years before ever hearing the damn thing.
