Following on from this morning, not one but two Wanda Jackson items. First up Wanda's classic Funnel Of Love, but not in it's 1961 form. This version is from an album in 2003 where Wanda revisited her early songs with help from various people, including Elvis Costello (boo) and The Cramps (hooray). This version of Funnel is Wanda Jackson backed by The Cramps, and it's good stuff with Poison Ivy's guitar sounding particularly fine. They also did Riot In Cell Block 9 for the same record.
Second, you need to head on over to Diddywah.blogspot (link down and to the right), where DJ Diddywah hosts a goldmine of 50s and 60s singles- mod, psyche, blues, r'n'b, rockabilly, surf and much more. Scroll down to last Thursday and you'll find a post featuring the original version of Funnel Of Love, and Diddywah's 45 rpm Funnel Of Love single played at 33rpm. The results are astounding and have to be heard to be believed. Totally different record and feel. It's well worth a couple of clicks and a few minutes of your webtime. Go on, off with you. Meanwhile I'm going to begin playing all my 45s at 33...

"boo"?: are you serious?!
No, never really liked him. Not entirely sure why.
The Fall's version of this is magic.
