Year

'Wild One’ from the album Johnny’s Golden Album, Festival Records FM6005.
Composed by Dee Jay members John Greenan, Dave Owens and Johnny O’Keefe himself, 'Wild One’ was originally released in 1958 on the EP Shakin’ at the Stadium. Wanting to capture the feel of his live shows, the first version of 'Wild One’ had the sound of a concert audience dubbed over the top of the recording. This clip is from the second version of 'Wild One’, as released on Johnny’s Golden Album (1959), and featuring a fuller, richer sound.
