Side A begins with Sonny Davis [presumably] telling listeners they can buy an 8x10 picture of the Davis Twins by sending in 25 cents to the studios. A quick cut leads into a version of One Kiss Too Many done by the Davis Twins [presumably].

Side B goes directly into a group singing a song that might be Sweetest Gal In Town but doesn't match lyrics for any version I can find. It has a fiddle break and what sounds like an accordion. Next is an upbeat version of Fire On The Mountain (Run Boy Run) done by an unknown artist.

Without solid information I can't say with 100% accuracy that the artists on side A are the Davis Twins but I feel fairly confident that it is. It almost sounds like the cut between the first part and the music is the user cutting out commercials but I'm not sure if that's true.

I'd guess the artists on the second side are from the Sleepy Jeffers show but, again, I can't confirm that in any way.
