I wish they would have recorded this so I could put it in my collection. I might be 73 years old but I never get tired of listening to this version. We sure use to do a good job of dancing to the version that was recorded. Ah, the good old days with real music.

I sure am glad I read the comments under these songs because I've never heard of this version before. It's too bad this wasn't released but now I have it saved in likes. This version should be cleaned up and remixed with his voice a little louder and clearer. What a great version. Love the guitar at the end and I don't blame Sham and the Pharoahs for being upset that this was not released.
There was a performance of them playing this on a French television show in the sixties which in my opinion was THE primo version, but can't find it anywhere on the internet any longer.
Amazing, outside of hearing the Saxophone...i could swear other horns are in this version. Of course Sam The Sham flawless and a great fun song. The guitar solo really adds to the song. I bet the band was told no to the addtional minute due to the length. Thanks for posting .This sounds great
I just want to comment that the Wooly Bully is real. I saw it, in Mexico in the early 60s, an experience I will never forget. No it was not a Bigfoot; something much bigger and scarier. I believe Mr. Sham saw it too and wrote this song. It did have horns and a wooly jaw. I don't know if it still exists today. This song was meant as a warning - "watch it". You don't want to see what we saw.
From what I was told the record label did not like the guitar solo and did a remix and released it. The band was mad over what they did or so I was told.
@@mick2spicSpot on, to me this sounds like a reworking from the 80’s. Never heard drums from the 60’s sound like that. Definitely not from 1965. Sounds fantastic all the same.
Others have already said it, but there's no way this was recorded at the original session that produced "Wooly Bully". No one had a guitar tone like that in 1964. Guitars sounded a lot "thinner" back then.
Willy bully come know. Stop this fighting all round the world straight up. Point up who's in charge say it claim it ..... Amen. Wholly bully. O ya! Let's dance merle knows let's stop. It's I walk and talk with him.
There was a tough as Nail Baltimore Boy we all took a liken to named Carl Baily remember Carl I think John Freeman 1st told me about this song is how you got that nickname ! King Waterprooffing Inc
This was a favorite track with us in NAM 67-69 but the enhanced drums and louder sax as issued by the label was better as it was far more driving to listen to.
Lee Green. Maybe someone should ask Sam the Sham if this is his recording, if this is his work. There seems to be quite a bit of dispute over this. I understand he is still with us.
I actually had an interview done with Sam and the studio owner discussing this song, I wish I had kept that as well. I met the guitar player that played on this recording also and he confirmed it was part of the original recording. I grew up and still live close to Memphis so I may try to find Sam and see if he will do a video interview and tell his side of the story. The owners of the studio where it was originally recorded paid me to convert close to 500 songs from tape to a digital format. I was not supposed to keep any of it but I could resist keeping just this one song.
Thanks for sharing "This Version". Good Old Rock is the best. Killer guitar solo. Yes I suspect having a song play over the sacred 3 minute mark in the 1960s would have been a no-no. I have often wonder why that was so? Anyone from a 1960s Radio Station would have an answer/knowledge why? I feel like a youngster here. I am just 67. I missed out on the roller skates phenomenon. I guess by 1968 with everybody tripping on Acid and Maryjane that trying to Roller Skate could have detrimental to your physical wellbeing!
I think that's the most (3 minutes) they could get on a 45rpm record back then. That's why stuff from the 50's was at 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Just the limits of the technology of the era.
@@patriciastanton9088 Not that the internet is always accurate but it states that a 7 inch 45 rpm was limited to 5 minutes per side. One source stated that Radio Stations did not want to wait to long before the next song to play.
I agree. His original line up didn’t have trumpet. His voice is deeper and raspier. Guitar solo is like late 60’s. Not mid 60’s. This is definitely not a studio session. It’s live.
Different version, but the first solo at the end is sax, (which is not on the version everybody knows) and sounds like a trumpet and sax doing the echo parts! Cool!
Heard an interview w/Sam, about touring, they had a Hearse as their band wagon. He was sleeping in the back w/ the gear, the door popped open and he bounced out on a desolate highway. The band didn't realize he wasn't there for a couple miles, and went back to fetch him . He got banged up pretty good. Not so funny then, but as he tells it- lucky to survive.

I converted probably a thousand songs from tape to CD for the studio where the original recordings were done. This was one of those. I was told they were going to be sold on a European market similar to iTunes.
No I was hired to convert some tapes to CD by the recording studio. I think the original version I copied was for release in Europe on something similar iTunes.
No offense but this does not sound like it was recorded in 1965. More like 1985 or 95 (and those drums sound so 80’s but definitely not 60’s at all) I can’t even hear the tape saturation on this at all. And honestly despite what other people say about this song I don’t think this song is all that great. I think it’s kind of stupid and it sounds like a song somebody whipped up in less then 5 minutes and it easily could have been written by a teenage boy but not a grown ass man.
That is being harsh, innit? I believe that many great songs were written on a piece of napkin, or may be even a toilet roll, if some legends are to be believed. May be you should have leveled this at the rap scene.
... And in comes “The Connoisseur” Of music..... NOT!!!!!! That’s why Domingo “Sam” Samudio is still receiving royalties from this song since it came out in 1965... What have YOU done sir? What a joke of a comment...
luis alcala I’ve created and hosted a successful podcast about 60’s music with interviews from big industry names from back then (including Eddie Holland of Holland Dozier Holland and Shel Talmy) that has garnered a total of 11k listens. I’ve also been featured in Music Connection Magazine 4 times in the past 4 years for my original music. I based my comment on my experience growing up listening to 60’s music as a kid. I know what they sound like having been around that music since I was about 4 or 5 years old and I can pretty much tell whether or not a song was recorded in the 60’s or not (I know about the evolution of recording technology in the 60’s from Mono to Stereo to 4, 3 and 2 track to 8 track to 16 track) I’ve trained my ears to be able to tell whether or not a record was recorded in the 60’s and I just don’t think this version of the song was recorded back then and I also have the street cred of being a musician and songwriter and producer/recording engineer myself. Now am I right? Well i don’t know, but whoever posted this video can probably tell me if I’m wrong or right. I’m just using my best judgement based off of years and years and years of listening to 60’s music and also being aware of other music in other decades as well and knowing the difference between 60’s 70’s and 80’s music sonically speaking.
The original version sounds awesome.😁

We can still dance. TURN IT UP!
That saxophone is on fire. And the Hammond! Didn't know about the existence of this version and is pure gold!

Great music FUN song in every aspect!
This my Young Friends is ROCK N ROLL!
Sam Domingo zamudio, wonderful 💪, rock evergreen ❤️❤️❤️❤️😘
Best version, great song !!!!!!!
With that guitar sound & style there's no way that's an original unreleased track.
Maybe if Marty McFly took the time machine to 1965 to record his guitar on this supposed version
This is a whole lotta better version... Thanks for uploading....
LOVE THAT FUZZ GUITAR!
sorry for yelling lol
cheers for uploading this rare version Lee Green

VERY VERY GOOD CLASSIC MUSIC
if this IS the original there all power to the recording technicians-sounds to me like a load of overdubbing-BUT who cares this is bloody marvellous
Thanks for saving this. It's a good guitar solo.
This is brilliant great dance song.
This really rocks!!!!
Love all the saxophone in this version. Why was this one never released? It is far superior. Maybe it was too long at the time for AM radio?
From what I was told the record label did not like the guitar solo and did a remix and released it. The band was mad over what they did or so I was told.

No way is this 65. Modern, good, but not close to the original.
