Burnt Toast and Black Coffee / Lonely Moon

A 2 track jump blues single (4m 34s) — released June 20th 2011 on Popcorn

Two stone cold classics back to back and two songs which really encapsulate the heart of the popcorn sound! A few years ago, Mike Pedicin's 'Burnt Toast & Black Coffee' crossed over from its confines in the Belgian Popcorn scene to become a major record across the Mod, Northern and Rockin' scenes worldwide. A little less known, but still a killer spin, here is the original version, recorded a couple of years prior by Shorty Long. A more swinging affair, with a crooning vocal and big band arrangements, this still packs a serious punch on the floor.

If anything, Johnny Wells' 'Lonely Moon' is an even more perfect example of what the Popcorn sound is all about. A dynamic hybrid of styles - high production values - strings and all - a slow but beating, swinging rhythm, a laid back, lounge-baked vocal all pull together to give this moody little number a hefty helping of something which is intrinsic to popcorn - character!
