Description
One of the rarest early Rockabilly singles, listed at £200 it is almost impossible to find on the original blue and white Coral Vogue label and even rarer to have its tri-centre perfectly intact!
Big "T" Tyler made only one record, but what a record. "King Kong"/ "Sadie Green" must rank of one of the great double-siders of 1950s rock 'n' roll. Unfortunately, biographical information on the man is almost non-existent. His real name is Chris Tyler and according to Stuart Colman, he was a blues singer from Tyler, Texas. Rob Finnis calls him a gospel shouter and tells us that Tyler was signed to a management deal by L.A. songwriter Norman Malkin (the husband of Margie Rayburn) in May 1957. Apparently it was Malkin who came up with the moniker Big T Tyler, to complement his 15-stone physique. Both "King Kong" and "Sadie Green" were written by Tyler himself and recorded on April 25, 1957, at Master Recorders on Fairfax Avenue in Hollywood, California. An all-star cast had been assembled to provide the accompaniment, including Rene Hall on guitar, Earl Palmer on drums, Plas Johnson on tenor sax and his brother Ray Johnson on piano.
On play both sides are noise free and grades EX/NM. No ticks, clicks or heavy static.
The labels are also excellent, no marks, writing or scuffs.
Comes in non company poly lined sleeve.
Amazing rarity - once in a lifetime opportunity - don't miss out!
