Week 4: Raunchy rhythm 'n blues

Back in the 1940s and 50s it wasn´t that uncommon for rhythm and blues acts to record two versions of their songs. One released to the general public and another, raunchier version to be sold unlabeled under the counter. Here´s two prime examples of this sadly long gone custom.

07. The Rotten Cocksuckers ball – The Clovers
