PAUL EVANS' DISCOGRAPHY
USA and UK releases
Compiled by Rob Hughes
(With comments by Paul)

Click here to hear "What Do You Know" (Mp3),
Paul's first record release - on RCA Victor.
From his Castle Records CD, "Happy Go Lucky Me (The Paul Evans Songbook)"

Here's the last question especially meant for you Will you marry me and be forever true -------- What Do You Know, What Do You Know What Do You Know, What Do You Know

    My first record release

RCA RECORDS
#6808  (1957) What Do You Know / Dorothy
#6924  (1957) Looking For A Sweetie / Any Little Thing
#6992  (1957) Caught / Poor Broken Heart

DECCA RECORDS
#30680 (1958) I Think About You All The Time / Oh! No
   Decca Records had five hits in the top 100 in the summer of '58. "I Think About You..." was
   their sixth best seller. They neglected to let me know that it hit the charts in Canada. I found
   this out when some fans requested the song while I was playing a hop in Canada.

ATCO RECORDS
#6138  (1959) At My Party / Beat Generation
#6170  (1960) Long Gone / Mickey, My Love

GUARANTEED RECORDS
#200    (1959) Seven Little Girls / Worshipping An Idol (with the Curls)
   Originally recorded as a demo for the writers, "Seven Little Girls" was
   released by Guaranteed Records, a subsidiary of Carlton Records - as is.
#205    (1960) Midnite Special / Since I Met You Baby
   An arrangement of an American folk song re: the legend that if the Midnight Special shone its
   light on you in your prison cell at the stroke of midnight, you'd soon be released.
   I first did this song live while traveling on the road with the Bobby Comstock Band ("Tennessee Waltz").
#208    (1960) Happy-Go-Lucky-Me / Fish In The Ocean
   "Fish In the Ocean" was supposed to be the A side from this recording session. (One of Guaranteed
   Record's executives blew into a water glass with a straw to produce the "bubbly, bubbly" sound.)
   Harder than singing on "Happy-Go-Lucky Me" was laughing on it. When the record was covered in an
   album knock-off of the top 10 hits of the day, one performer sang the song and another laughed on it.
#210    (1960) The Brigade Of Broken Hearts / Twins
#213    (1960) Hushabye, Little Guitar / Blind Boy

LP 2248 (1960) "PAUL EVANS SINGS THE FABULOUS TEENS"
   The cover of this LP is the same as Guaranteed LP 1000.
   Without adding the titles to the cover, London Records added two tracks to their LP,

  I remember Carlton Record executives arguing whether or not "Yankee, Russian,
  White or Tan, Lord, a Man is Just a Man" (from the song, "Passing Through")
  was too controversial (for the times) to be released in a "pop" album.
