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!

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!
