The Phantom - Love Me / Whisper Your Love (Dot 16056). Re-issue of the 1960 release by Jerry Lott. In June 1958, Lott recorded "Love Me" and "Whisper Your Love" at Gulf Coast Studios in Mobile, Alabama, with guitarist Frank Holmes, bassist-pianist William Yates, and drummer Hugo Brooks as session musicians. Dot Records issued the songs as the A-side and B-side of the single, Love Me, in January 1960, crediting "M. Lott" as the songwriter. Accounts suggest that Pat Boone encouraged Lott to adopt a more distinctive stage persona, leading to his use of the stage name The Phantom, after the comic strip character. In a 1980 interview, Lott stated that he went into the studio after working for months on "Whisper Your Love" but without a song for the other side of the record, and "someone suggested I write something like Elvis ... 'See if you spark rock 'n' roll a little bit'". On the second take, the one that was used, he "blew one of the controls off the wall". "Love Me" was also covered by The Cramps, a psychobilly group, and The Bananamen, a side project of British rockabilly band The Sting-rays. Take a listen. This re-issue is apparently from 1973 and is pressed on purple vinyl. Record is in M- condition.
