Desmond Dekker and The Aces [00:42]
a side: "Israelites"

Johnny Bond [06:09]
a side: "It Only Hurts When I Cry"
b side: "The Girl Who Carries the Torch for Me"
Starday 45-893
Hmmm. Almost a kind of ska beat going on there. And I think the b-side is certainly taking some liberties (pause for groan).

Dwight Yoakam [11:26]
a side: "It Only Hurts When I Cry"
b side: "Let's Work Together"
Reprise Records 7-19148 1990
Ah yes, that's more like it. Mr. Yoakam and Mr. Miller do sure wrote a fine happy sad song.

The Mindbenders [17:37]

a side: "It's All Over Now"
b side: "All I Took Was Love"
