LOCK DOWN THEATER NIGHT 11

I was at Internet Archive, looking for something completely different when I saw a record called "Rockabilly Party" and it was on a 78. Release year, 1957. Could go either way. It went nowhere. But it is a piece of rare early rockabilly-sploitation. Then I noticed the lyrics were familiar, I knew where they were going, I'd never hear this song before. Then it hit me. Mott the Hoople lifted part of the lyrics for "Roll Away the Stone". So, that's where they got it. We can close that chapter. And Mott night it is. Including this hour and a half documentary.
