"At a 1955 session, Ray Pettis recorded a couple of solos: "Please Tell Me When" and "Ow, You're So Fine". Drexel being the leisurely organization it was, these weren't released until around August 1956. Note that these solos were bootlegged in the 1970s, with a white group overdubbed (the Sparrows Quartet). They were first issued (as by the "Gems") on Broadcast 995, and then again, in 1975, on "Drexel 900" (a number which had never existed). For some reason, on the "Drexel" release, "Please Tell Me When" had been retitled "I Can't Believe" (and then, for good measure, they pasted the labels on the wrong sides!)."

Drexel was a great label. Had to laugh at the story of the Ray Pettis overdub version since I remember when Dom D'Elia put that one out. The Sparrows Quartet also overdubbed another Ray Pettis song, 'Outside of Paradise', which was unreleased by Pettis. I don't know if you need any of these but I included them in case you do.

Vin Big Thanks but I had those, But i am missing Both sides label shots of the Outside of Paradise : Broadcast (NY) 45 - 1001 & Broadcast (NY) 45 - 995 issues if Anybody has them Dean
DeleteThe Broadcast (NY) 45 - 1001 flip is "Darling You Know issued 1971 as the Four Gems I am missing. Is it another Ray Pettis unissued Drexel track overdubbed by The Sparrows Quintet ? Dean
