    late 50's - early 60's UK Single recommendations

    Hello All

    At boot sales in the last few years, all the singles seem to be 80's chart hits and 50's - early 60's stuff by crooners and MOR acts.

    Can anyone recommend some good late 50's - early 60's UK releases to look out for? I'm not asking for shit rare rock & roll, more atypical songs by reasonably well known artists I might have a chance of stumbling across. There are no particular genres I'm after, but popcornish Fever or Sixteen Tonnes soundalikes would be welcomed.

    Here's one from me that was a Top Rank b side in 1959:
    it's OK to head out for wonderful, but on your way to wonderful, you're gonna have to pass through all right. When you get to all right,
    take a good look around and get used to it, because that may be as far as you're gonna go.

    This came out on London in 1960:

    take a good look around and get used to it, because that may be as far as you're gonna go.

            Like those! Any more for any more? Where's Bongolia and Ian T when you need them?

            Here's another. The release before Hoots Mon:

            take a good look around and get used to it, because that may be as far as you're gonna go.

                              It's worth keeping an eye out for some of the early Adam Faith 45s
