Jackie Brenston & His Delta Cats - Rocket 88 (from The Sun Records Story box set, 1994) - What some consider to be the first rock and roll song ever recorded was actually the work of Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm, released in 1951 under saxophonist and vocalist Brenston's name for some arcane financial reason.

Girls at Our Best! - It's Fashion (from Pleasure, 1981) - Odd choral postpunk that could almost be mistaken for an outtake from the Penis Envy recording sessions.
