Introducing the newest off-shoot to the Jazzman reissue family! Its our SECOND RELEASE in conjunction with Londons Jukebox Jam club night, bringing you regular doses of the wildest, rawest original Rhythm and Blues of the 50s and early 60s on DJ friendly collectable 45rpm format. Linked by a sequential catalogue numbering system, each release will also boast a unique label design and title, making them unlike any other reissue on the market. Little Willie Johns 1956 breakthrough hit Fever quickly spawned a thousand imitations in the R&B world, with artists left, right and centre ripping off the now infamous riff and inventing not-so-subtle lyrical variations on the theme of ones lover making them feel a little under the weather. A while before things became faintly ridiculous with track names such as Sugar Diabetes, Joe Tex had been one of the quickest off the mark when he cut his own answer to the classic in the same year. Certainly a more danceable cut than the LWJ, Joe also upped the meanness no end with some decidedly un-PC lyrics perhaps best left in the mid-50s! An truly infectious bit of R&B, and perhaps the definitive Fever rip-off (thats a big complement, trust me!), Pneumonia has appealed to dancers on the Mod, Popcorn and Rockin scenes for some time, and its shared rights has ensured a steady increase in the value and desirability of the original. For the flip, we include the lesser heard alternate take, which for unknown reasons features a continuous Hammond organ track completely missing from the released version. As many collectors have expressed a preference for this obscure version, we couldnt pass up the opportunity to press it up on a DJ friendly 45 for the first time.
