Pick 'Em Up and Lay 'Em Down 10" LP (vinyl)

Ten-inch vinyl LP of Glen Glenn's original recordings for the Era label, featuring different versions from the originally released records.
Glen Glenn and Gary Lambert had to wait until the 1980s for the new generation of fans to pay homage to them and ecstatically dance to their Era Records label releases issued under Glen’s name, and it is these recordings on which their reputation is firmly cemented.
The recordings for the Era label have an enticing quality, and Glen’s country edged vocals fitted perfectly to rockabilly music, and together with Gary’s guitar they created something a little different.
The Goldstar Studio echo and reverb are used to perfection, producing the ’crème de la crème’ of recordings which have excited music fans for many decades.
Included here is an alternative and slightly faster version of One Cup Of Coffee, and after three false starts Gary perfects the introduction, and the resulting Would Ya, has a rugged feel embellished with a more driving tempo than the issued version.
Then there are two rockabilly classics in development, Everybody's Movin' and Blue Jeans And A Boy's Shirt.
The former has a faster tempo and is not as tight as the issued version and the latter is a looser work in progress version, without the later over-dubs which were added on the released version.
Tape exploration located stereo versions of Kitty Kat and Wait Wait One Year Longer which both see the light of day on this album.
The album concludes in 1963 with two performances from a demo session held at Gary Lambert’s house - I Think of Somethin’ Funny and My Eyes Are Open.
Includes liner-notes by Deke Dickerson.
