"Shotgun" - Jr. Walker and The All Stars
Soul 35008 - 1965

Previous

This one is still as unforgettable as the day in early 1965 that it blasted out of the backwoods. You wanna dance? THIS is the jam!! This is the odd "black bar" pressing of this 45. Apparently Berry Gordy ordered a batch of labels for his Soul subsidiary, but they were accidentally pressed with "Distributed by Bell Records" at the bottom. Motown had a lot of records to ship out, so instead of waiting for a new pressing, he printed a black bar over the offending words. Frugal, but effective.
