I agree this tune is an absolute roots killer! LOVE this tune/7" & recently discovered Johnny Cool was a member of the Prince Lincoln Thompson & the Royal Rasses.

Yes, thanks for the info jj.

On the back of that info it looks like his name is actually Clinton Hall.

Appreciate the info. I recently got into the 7" game and found this gem. It's a problem.
