"Let It Rock" is a primitive cover of the Chuck Berry tune.
Recently on e-bay. I wasn't able to obtain details from the seller, but despite the poor picture offered, I am pretty confident that this is a Rite pressing. The record is listed in the Rockin' Country Style, also without details, no matrix, no picture, no address.
Almsot certainly a Kentucky label owned by Wm. Stamper himself who released at least two other singles :
102 Ray Watts & The Questions :
Till The Mets Win The Pennant/ I Had To Keep My Eye On You
103 Otis Johnson And The Sound Of Soul :
UK4M-6x72 I’m Not A Fool/Crying Over You
There was a single on REM Records credited to Bill Stamper, but it's not him :
Rusty York remembers going to King to record his swampy version of Jimmy Reed’s 1960 blues hit, " Baby What You Want Me To Do ", and a rocked-up version of " Molly Darlin’ ", a Victorian-era ballad writen by Will Hays that became a hit for Eddy Arnold in 1948. Rusty, though, didn’t have the money to put it out, so he took it to Bob Mooney at Rem Records in Lexington, Kentucky. […] Mooney said he had a guy under contract, Bill Stamper, who couldn’t sing very well, and he issued the single under Stamper’s name.[Colin Escott, liner notes to Rusty Rocks, Bear Family CD]
