I bought this record over the weekend http://www.amazon.com/Best-Louie-Vol/dp/B0000032IJ/ref=pd_sim_m_1 except on vinyl LP not CD like the link. The track listing on my sleeve is:

A
LL - Rice University Marching Owl Band Band
LL - Richard Berry
LL- Rockin' Robin Roberts
LL - The Sonics
LL- The Sandpipers

B
LL - The Kingsmen
LL - The Last
LL - Black Flag
LL - Les Dantz and his Orchestra
The Hallelouie Chorus - The Impossibles

The only problem is, side B of the record I have is all songs by the 80's heavy metal band Bitch!! What the hell?!

Does anyone know if this was a common error on the pressing of this comp?

That's how I feel about The Last in general. Wilbert Harrsion did a pretty sharp version of Louie Louie on the "Let's Get Together" LP on Sue. Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

I seem to recall this topic coming up once before... probably on the old GaragePunk Forums. Also, Black Flag's version of "Louie Louie" is one of my faves (the Last's and Kingsmen's versions are great, too), so I disagree that you'd only need the A-side of the comp. BTW, speaking of comps like this one, I have "Love That Louie - The Louie Louie Files" collection on Ace Records, and it's better:

I was gonna say....

Also, I think you can get Black Flag's version on 7 inch vinyl. Don't know about the Last's version. It's OK.

Don't forget about this one, too: http://blip.fm/profile/kopper/blip/36292503/iggy+pop%E2%80%93loui+loui

Agreed about side B Kopper! Thanks for the link, that comp looks insane! I'll check it out. kopper said:

You really only need Side A of this record.

I'd like to be able to take credit for that, but I just googled some of the lyrics lol I think it's an error on the. pressing plant's part because I don't think Bitch even released an album on Rhino... so weird! Ken (Evil Empire Records) said:

I don't know if it is or not... But I'm impressed you could recognize Bitch. I wouldn't be able to pick a Bitch song out of the crowd!
