The official version is that Jet and Tony are on the Vipers' recordings of
Liverpool Blues and
Summertime Blues. These were the duo's first commercial recording sessions and as important to the history of The Shadows as the Chesternuts'
Teenage Love and
Jean Dorothy.
Both tracks are newly available on a very reasonably-priced double-CD of The Vipers' complete catalogue:
"Don't You Rock Me Daddy-O" - The Vipers Skiffle Group - CDx2
DeltaLeisure/Performance 38306 (UK; 2009).
