41952?Jimmy Burns

- Nervous (JP-28-A)
- Raise (JP-28-B)

in 1952 "our" Jimmy Burns was 9 years old ...
So this is either a recording by another musician by the name of Jimmy Burns or the date of release (taken from http://www.globaldogproductions.info/c/combo.html) actually was quite a few years later !!!
