 Bill Haley and his Comets

Bill Haley & His Comets were an American rock and roll band that was founded in 1952 and continued until Haley's death in 1981. The band, also known by the names Bill Haley and The Comets and Bill Haley's Comets (and variations thereof), was the earliest group of white musicians to bring rock and roll to the attention of white America and the rest of the world. During the period late 1954-late 1956, the group placed nine singles into the Top 20, one of those a number one and three more in the Top Ten.

Bandleader Bill Haley had previously been a country music performer; after recording a country and western-styled version of "Rocket 88", a rhythm and blues song, he changed musical direction to a new sound which came to be called rock and roll.

Although several members of the Comets became famous, Bill Haley remained the star. With his spit curl and the band's matching plaid dinner jackets and energetic stage behaviour, many fans consider them to be as revolutionary in their time as The Beatles or the Rolling Stones were a decade or two later.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@

I’m downsizing and I no longer have room to store my records which I’ve bought over the years.

I'm just starting on the attic and I've come across some gems that haven’t seen the light of day for over 30 years

There are lots of singles from about the same era which I'll list on here as and when I can.

I’ll play them all before I put them on ebay and will be as honest as possible about the condition of vinyl and sleeves.

 

I'm starting them all at 99p but you'll know yourself how you value any that you see.

 

I’m not a dealer and the descriptions are as I see them, but please ask if you want more details or photos.

 

The records will be posted in a Cardboard mailer, but I’m happy to send it with tons of bubble wrap as a “Packet” – the cost for this (In the UK) is £3.99

Please let me know your preference.
