Bobby Darin’s Song For A Dollar

I was recently perusing some online record stores for some new sounds and came across this 45 from Scorpio Sounds. I’m not sure who’s behind this label but I do know that this isn’t the only 45 they’ve put out with slept-on nuggets from back in the day. They seem particularly interested in that country-got-soul sound and highly sample-able drum sounds. This record’s got two great tunes on it (Alan Shelly’s funky organ monster, Dance Together is on the A side) but, for me, it’s all about Bobby Darin’s Song For A Dollar on the flip, which originally appeared on Direction 351 in 1969.
Here’s a sample for your ears:
