Stood Up / Waitin In School (Imperial 5483). 1957.
-Stood Up is a great teen rockabilly with sizzlin' guitar break, driving bass, drums and smooth vocals from Ricky Nelson!
-Waitin' In School written by Johnny and Dorsey Burnette is a wild teen rockabilly with driving bass, drums, strummed guitar and terrific vocals from Ricky Nelson with two hot guitar breaks and is arguably the better of the two sides although it didn't chart as high as Stood Up did.
