If 05317 is dated Jan 55 then 05338 must come after | | | | | | Does anyone know why this was released as a 45 in the UK before Rock around the clock?It's strange because it was a UK hit three weeks before Rock around the clockSurely this can't have been because it was the only one on 45 -when most people were still buying 78s in 1954 | | | | rel="noopener noreferrer"> SUBS20th Feb 2016 | | 1974 . think this is Bill Haley and His Comets playing the Wheeltappers and Shunters Club | | | | rel="noopener noreferrer"> SUBS20th Feb 2016 | | | | | | | | found a silver one on Popsike. funny what turns up... | | | | rel="noopener noreferrer"> SUBS19th Feb 2016 | | I think there are a couple of London Completerists whom have not declared their ownership.Otherwise its 61 years ago, teenagers would be 75 now, some less internet savvy, some collections broken up, lost in the 70s to the wifes demands to clear stuff out, not re-bought due to space in the 1990s, a top seller that probably sold as many on (fragile) 78s. If not rare its probably not sought out as the tune re-issued over the years on other 45s and media. | | | | | | only 9 own the 45? Gold with Thick Tri, Gold with Thin Tri on the glossy paper, don't remember ever seeing a Silver Tri?Bought from Hugh Mc C too, "rock beater" was another term "ork" also. Tiny print on those lists I'd struggle with now! Used to put Embassy 45s by the song only as anon artists. | | | | rel="noopener noreferrer"> SUBS ●1st Apr 2011 | | Hugh was still doing his postal auctions well into the 90s. I certainly bought some great 45s from him. | | | | | | A lot of us bought stuff from Hugh's auctions in the 60s. You placed your bid by the list number in his 'catalogue', not the record title. I once ended up with a Dave Dudley 45 instead of the one I wanted. Wouldn't have been too bad if it was 'Six days on the road' , but it was pretty poor substitute for what I really wanted. I never misread the numbers again ! | | | | | | I think I remember his address as Airdale Road.At one time Mike Raven played tracks from a Mickey Gilley LP and said it could be bought from Hugh. I did buy a copy and still have it. | | | | | | Do any 45cat subscribers remember the auction lists that were sent out by a guy called Hugh McCallum, who ran the Haley fan club? I think he lived in Ealing. Unfortunately one had to return the lists, but I was reminded of some of the descriptions he used by a recent post. I remember especially the description 'torrid femme rocker'. So descriptive!I wonder what happened to Mr McCallum... | | |
