Today: Page 1861 in Volume 4 has a brief discography for Billy Peek, a guitarist who played with Berry and recorded several Berry covers and soundalikes. Here's an addition to the Billy Peek discography:
Single
The Hammer / Sweet Home Chicago
Rivertown RT-005 • USA, 1987
On page 1861 there’s a Billy Peek discography which says that this single came out in 1992. Well, it didn’t. The album “The Answer” that the two songs are featured on was released in 1992. However, there’s no year of release printed on the single in question, so I figured that it also came out in ’92. But now when this PS turned up it’s printed 1987 on the back. So the actual album that came out in ’92 featured various songs probably recorded between 1987-1992. It seems like «The Hammer» was the actual plug-side. I had it the other way around in the book. As you can see on the attached labels nothing is mentioned about any A or B-side.
