Bill Stamper on Loy

Loy 100
Bill Stamper
? - Let It Rock
? - High School Dance

"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.
