SIDE A = 1. Dirty Mouth   2. Don't Fight

SIDE B = 3. Just Can't Wait   4. My Own Mistake

Sleazy Records / SR-51

Brand new release by Sleazy Records even if, funnily enough, it has catalogue number SR-51 while other 7" released by the label more or less at the same time are above the "100th"... Nothing of much importance, anyway.

Ric & The Dukes are a Rockabilly band formed in the South of Spain by Ángel Arlandi (vocals and rhythm guitar), Carlos Jiménez (lead guitar), Antonio Smiley (upright bass) and Pedri Miranda (drums). What these guys offer us in this record is just that: Rockabilly in a beautiful 50's style.

On side A, with "Dirty Mouth" and "Don't fight" they put the strength more on the "Rock" half of Rockabilly; while on the B side, with "Just Can't Wait" and "My Own Mistake", it is the "Billy" half of the word which gets a little bit more of importance (being much more evident on "My Own Mistake") but never forgetting the "Rock".

All four songs, by the way, have been penned (or co-penned) by band members and are sung in English.

A good record.
