Search - Little Bob & Lollipops :: I Got Loaded

Some fine soul, but lousy remastering

"Those who, like myself, bought this CD for its famous title track will be disappointed on finding out that it, as well as a number of other tracks on this CD, is severely marred by an ugly, high-pitched chirping noise. As this noise pops up on tracks from more than one recording session, I suspect it is a result of faulty remastering. While this CD contains some really good southern soul, I can't really recommend a shoddy product. Hopefully, this material will show up in a better package in the future."

Solid R&B covers, tight band

"I heard this in my favorite book store and recently bought. Little Bob & the Lollipops are a solid R&B cover group. Contrary to the implication on the re-issue cover notes, the title track, "I Got Loaded" which has been covered many times was originally released probably in the mid 50's, possibly by Lowell Fulsome, maybe even earlier by Louis Jordan. But, this is great stuff by a tight band and it looks like La Louisianne Records is defunct (their web site is dormant). It is worth searching out."
