"LOVE ME" ! INSANE!! A real wild even the wildest one recorded and written by Jerry Lott a.ka. THE PHANTOM in the year of '58 at the Gulf Coast Studio. Written in a ten minute rush by himself and recorded in two takes.
Later Jerry met Pat Boone and both agreed and Jerry signed, to issued the record on Boone's own label " Cooga Mooga". But finally the record released on DOT 16056 in 1960 w/ flip "Whisper Your Love". Not a unusual fact cause Boone recorded for Dot Records.
This his only release comes with a picture sleeve.
And it was the idea of Boone to change his name to "The Phantom".Fortunately it was not Pat Boone who wrote or sung this song..haha!
In a 1980 interview with Derek Glenister, Jerry recalls :"...I didn't yell on the first take, but I yelled on the second, and blew one of the controls off the wall.... I'm telling you, It was wild. The drummer lost one of his sticks, the piano player screamed and knocked his stool over, the guitar player's glasses were hanging sideways over his eyes..."

The second take you will find on this LP-Rip.The first unissued take you can listen & download at the end of this post.Due the raw quality of "Love Me" on this rip you can catch the first take here .
Sadly to say that Jerry Lott sustained severe injuries when his car tumbled down a mountainside near Spartanburg, SC. He never recorded again till his death in September 4th 1983.He was 45 years old.
The guys who compiled this LP wrongly thought that Nick Todd is the Phantom too. But they're wrong.Nick Todd (Nicholas Boone) is the brother of Pat Boone.
But enough Pat Boone now!Go for THE PHANTOM!!

Jamie Coe from Detroit Michigan is mostly known for his first cut in 1959 on Addison Records 1500 "Summertime Symphony" w/ "There's Gonna Be A Day" (flip).This 45 is a real good sax rocker.Catch it for less!

Second to mention on this LP is the Addision 15003 release "School Day Blues" in Oct. '59. This little Teenrocker is my favourite by Jamie and generally in this style.No killa guitar break in there but tuneful voice and accurate drumwork. A lesser rare 45. $10 to $20 in VG+ - Mint.The Rest is Teen.If you like it, dig it!
