I am a huge fan of 1950s / 1960s music and have over 5,000 7" singles, with 1950s Rock 'n Roll & Doo-W*p being my favourites!
Question 1,
If you are familiar with, "Big Bad John" - Jimmy Dean (1961), who is striking the hammer on the piece of steel that figures prominently throughout the record?
No googling!

This is worth a look from 1983, not your scene Norfolk but memorable if you liked Phil Lynott and Roy Wood!

Finally did it after years of wanting to I feel really lucky. Yes, I've been to Sun Studio myself! When the tour finished, my wife Jean and I stayed for coffee and the lady behind the counter gave me a handful of tokens to play the jukebox which obviously contained all Sun singles! Heaven! |
