AN EXCELLENT PLAYING COPY OF THIS EVERLY BROTHERS CLASSIC - WAKE UP LITTLE SUSIE

WAKE UP LITTLE SUSIE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbLuWciXFcM

(Boudleaux Bryant / Felice Bryant)


Wake up little Susie, wake up, wake up little Susie, wake up
We both fell sound asleep, wake up little Susie and weep
The movie's over, it's four o'clock and we're in trouble deep

Chorus:
Wake up little Susie, wake up little Susie
Well, what're we gonna tell your mama, what're we gonna tell your pop
What're gonna tell our friends when they say 'ooh la la'
Wake up little Susie, wake up little Susie

Well, I told your mama that you'd be in by ten
Well, Susie baby, looks like we goofed again

Wake up little Susie, wake up little Susie, we gotta go home

Wake up little Susie, wake up, wake up little Susie, wake up
The movie wasn't so hot, it didn't have much of a plot
We fell asleep, our goose is cooked, our reputation is shot

chorus



 

The song is best known in a recording by The Everly Brothers, issued by Cadence Records as catalog number 1337. The song reached #1 on the Billboard Pop and Country charts and the Cash Box Best Selling Record charts, despite having been banned from Boston radio stations for lyrics that—at the time—were considered suggestive.  It got to #2 on the United Kingdom song charts. The song is ranked #311 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

The song is written from the point of view of a high school boy to his girlfriend, Susie. In the song, the two go out on a date to a drive-in movie theater, only to fall asleep during the movie. They do not wake up until 4 o'clock in the morning. They then contemplate the reactions of her parents and their friends.

Although banned in such places as Boston, the song does not state that Susie and her boyfriend had sexual relations. Indeed, it strongly implies that they did not: the couple simply fell asleep because they were bored by the film.

 

IN THE UK THE RECORD REACHED NUMBER 2 IN THE CHARTS AND STAYED IN THE CHARTS A TOTAL OF 13 WEEKS - IT WAS THE EVERLY BROTHERS SECOND HIT

POSTAGE STUFF

 THIS IS A FRAGILE 78 AND THE COMBINED COST OF SAFE PACKING AND POSTAGE BY 1ST CLASS MAIL / AIRMAIL SMALL PACKET IS - IN THE UK  £ 5, EUROPE £ 8,  AND REST OF WORLD IS £ 12.

Nothing in this world is "FREE" so if you see free postage it means the cost of the post is already in the starting price of the auction - eBay have done this so that they can take a % cut of your Postal payment !!

IN MY "FREE" LISTINGS I HAVE INCLUDED £4 FOR p&p (WHICH JUST ABOUT COVERS 2nd CLASS) BUT IF YOU ORDER MORE THAN ONE "FREE" POSTAGE ITEM FROM ME I WILL RETURN A REBATE BASED ON £4 minus THE ACTUAL ON-COST OF THE POSTAGE..   USUALLY AN EXTRA £1 PER EXTRA RECORD IN THE UK £1.50 PER EXTRA RECORD TO EUROPE AND £2 PER EXTRA RECORD IN THE REST OF THE WORLD

10" 78 RPM RECORDS NEED CAREFULLY PACKING, AND I CLAIM TO HAVE THE BEST PACKAGING IN THE WORLD FOR DISPATCHING THEM!!

 

THE GREG'S GREAT'S SYSTEM CONSISTS OF A SPECIALLY DESIGNED INNER BOX MADE OUT OF 1" THICK POLYSTYRENE, WHICH THEN GOES INSIDE A DOUBLE CORREGATED STIFF OUTER CARDBOARD CARTON. THE BOXES CAN TAKE UP TO 21 RECORDS,

 

USUALLY FOR MAILING OVERSEAS, I RECOMMEND NO MORE THAN 7 IN A BOX, OTHERWISE IT GOES OVER THE AIRMAIL SMALL PACKET MAXIMUM WEIGHT OF 2Kgs WHICH CAUSES A LARGE HIKE IN POSTAL RATES.

 

I SEND OUT ON AVERAGE ABOUT 30 PARCELS A WEEK AND DISPATCH IS NORMALLY DONE ONCE A WEEK - SO IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR RECORD WITHIN A WEEK IN THE UK, PLEASE DON'T BE TOO SURPRISED - YOU MAY HAVE JUST PAID FOR IT THE DAY AFTER I'VE DONE THE PARCEL RUN!! - ON THE OTHER HAND YOU MAY HAVE HIT IT LUCKY, AND GET THE PARCEL WITHIN A DAY OR TWO!! 

 

IF YOU REALLY HAVE AN URGENT REQUIREMENT FOR THE RECORD - BIRTHDAY PRESENT, WEDDING, FUNERAL etc PLEASE TELL ME - (BECAUSE I CAN'T READ MINDS!) I WILL DO MY BEST TO GET IT OUT FOR YOU URGENTLY.

 

IF A RECORD ARRIVES CRACKED OR BROKEN DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS WITH THIS FANTASTIC PACKAGING I WILL REFUND THE MONEY IN FULL. - JUST SEND ME A QUICK SCAN - IF IT IS A VERY RARE RECORD I MAY ASK YOU TO SEND IT BACK OTHERWISE IT WILL BE YOURS TO KEEP OR DISPOSE OF.

All 78's are packed in my specially designed Polystyrene boxes packed within double thick walled mailing cartons.
