Rufus Thomas (1917-2001), aka "The World's Oldest Teenager" was an R&B and Soul singer, who had hits (in the US mainly) between 1953 and 1976. He was best known for his dance songs, such as Jump Back, Walking the Dog, Do the Funky Chicken, etc. This EP has four tracks: Jump Back, Boom, Boom; I Want to be Loved and Ya Ya. The record plays really well and has no scratches. I bought this when it was first released in 1964 and it has been in my collection ever since. Interestingly, the sleeve says the publication date was 1965, but the record label (and my memory) says 1964. There is some slight marking to the A side label - see the last photo - which was where I removed a previous girlfriend's name done in Letraset, in deference to my later wife! The sleeve is in good condition with just some storage marks but no damage. The latest catalogued value is approximately £50. Record Number is AET. 6011. Please study the photos, as they form part of the description. Advertised elsewhere, so may be withdrawn at any time. Thanks for looking.
