| Just picked up in my second hand shop a new copy of sister Big stuff on sunspot records, check out the website and it shows only two releases, yet my cd is number 6 are there any other Prince buster releases. |

I do like Jimmy London's version however. |
Agreed... It's one of Buster's worst vocal efforts!! The rhythm is a killer mind you....

I have 2 copies of the original vinyl, as the one I bought new, became warped over the years, so I replaced it.... Obviously I bought the cd too...

On a par with the irretrievably awful TRY A LTTLE TENDERNESS and one or two Beatles' covers.

I'm a big Buster fan, but have to agree.. His "Hey Jude" is also not a "classic"..

Luckily the flip of the FAB 45 is much better (Wreck A Pum Pum)...

He also "executed" 007 (heard that at the last Club Rude! - had been lucky enough to NOT hear it for years)
However, Buster turned out classic after classic for most of the 60s
