California License by Jett Powers

Release date: 1970
Label: Liberty
Catalog number: LBS 83320
Format: 12" LP
Comments: This project provided Proby with a golden opportunity to now record some of his favourite "doo-wop" and "rock 'n' roll" classics which he had often included in his live shows of the 1950s/early '60s. The album's sessions were held at Abbey Road and featured Emile Ford and The Checkmates. These produced nine all-new recordings which were then topped up by three "previously released" numbers from the mid 1960s - "Linda Lu", "Stagger Lee" and "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu".
