That one is just 9/8 for me, in that order. Chuck has a doubled sided 10 for me, "Around And Around" and "Johnny B. Goode." Sweet Little Sixteen and Reeling And Rockin' is 10/9 Lots of Chuck's best records though have pretty shitty flip sides, like my 2 favorite Chucks, Beethoven and School Day, where the flip sides are weak. --
