Great bouncy tune in the twist style from Emile Ford & The Checkmates. "Sazzle Dazzle" was destined for release as an A-side single in July 1962, but was withdrawn. It was replaced with "Your Nose Is Gonna Grow", which flopped (although it's not a bad version)

I was really Sorry to hear about Louie...Since 1964 the Checkmates were the only reason for me to go to Las Vegas. Great Music & Shows. I have spent many nights front & center at Ceasers and all over Vegas for their sets. The Tribute is great but Black Pearl is really Sonnys song. Here is one of Louies.
