| The Girl Can’t Help It (take 9) | Art (on backing vocals) with Little Richard |
This is the version that was included in the soundtrack of the motion picture of the same name. This version is slightly faster than the single version. Also, the backing vocals continue during the sax solo on the 45, whereas they do not on this take. It is available on “Little Richard -The Specialty Sessions” (Ace ABOXCD1) and “Little Richard, Vol. 2: Shag On Down By The Union Hall” (Specialty Records - SPCD-7063-2)
|
| The Girl Can’t Help It (take 10) | Art (on backing vocals) with Little Richard |
This is an incomplete take of the song that breaks down after just a few seconds. It was released in 1989 on “Little Richard - The Specialty Sessions” (Ace ABOXCD1)
|
| The Girl Can’t Help It (take 11) | Art (on backing vocals) with Little Richard |
This is an alternate take, which lacks the sax on the intro. The lyrics “If she's smiling, beefsteak become well done” appears as the final line of the song, rather than in the middle (where it is heard on the two released versions.) This take was issued in 1989 on the “Little Richard - The Specialty Sessions” (Ace ABOXCD1) box set.

| Oh Baby (version 1) | Art (on piano) with Larry Williams |
In 1960, Williams released a song on the Chess label titled “Oh Baby.” This is NOT the same song. This is take 1 of a track that would eventually evolve into the song "Jenny Lee" (which itself remained unreleased until it finally saw the light of day on “Slow Down With Larry Williams - The Missing And Unissued Sides” (Specialty Records – date unknown) By the time the song has evolved into “Jenny Lee,” Art was no longer involved. This version is available on "Larry Williams at His Finest" (Ace Records CDCH2 1021) (UK)

|
| *I’m A Fool To Care (version 2) | Art |

| Bo Diddley (part 1) (version 1) | Art (with the Meters) | Sansu 481
Many compilations claim to have this track but actually feature one of the undubbed versions. The correct version is available on “New Orleans Funk Volume 2 (The Second Line Strut)” (Soul Jazz Records ?– SJR CD 185) which is likely unauthorized. The track was also available through i-Tunes at one time.
|
| Bo Diddley (part 2) (version 2) | Art (with the Meters) | Sansu 481
This side sounds like Part 1 minus the lead vocals. Again, many collections erroneously claim to include this track. It is available on “Here Comes The Meter Man (The Complete Josie Recordings 1968–1970)” ( Charly Records [UK] ?– SNAX627CD)
|
| Bo Diddley (version 3) | Art (with the Meters) |

|
| Bo Diddley (version 4) | Art (with the Meters) |
Same take as version 3, although it runs about 20 seconds longer. It can be found on “Get Low Down! - The Soul Of New Orleans, ‘65-’67” (Sundazed Music ?– SC 11094)

This version, which is alleged to be the original mono single version, was released on Real Gone Music’s “A Message From The Meters” compilation. It lacks the chanted vocals during the song’s intro. I believe that this was a mixing error when the CD was issued and is NOT what it purports to be. |
