Um...er...haven't these reviews missed Tommy's last record? And his best of the year too? (IMO of course)

I refer to the much recorded "Looped" of which Tommy had not only the best version (again IMO) but one that floored a pretty good early Bill Haley number in the 1952 Battle and only lost (narrowly) to a Fats classic

Come now it's not up to "Looped" standard but it ain't down in the 3/10 dumps either

A middlin' 6 for me

Yes, a 3 is ridiculous. Definitely 5-6 territory. I just emailed Samp and said "What happened to "Looped" from back in August or September?"

Let's see if he adds it before he starts with 1953.

Statistics means never having to say you're certain.
