Description
This is so RARE that nobody seems to know it exists and the catalogue numbers have perplexed many collectors and music historians. This is a special three EP 45 boxed set by Festival Records in Australia, dating from around 1964 or 1965 bringing together the highly unlikely combination of Billy Thorpe, Johnny O’Keefe & Bill Haley. It's called Rock! Rock! Rock! and comprises three EPs released under various labels. Record 1: Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs: Side 1: Poison Ivy & Broken Things. Side 2: Blue Day & You Don’t Love Me. On the Linda Lee Records label through Festival. Catalogue numbers XX-10,886 & MX 15737 (38 on other side). Pristine unplayed condition. Record 2: Billy Haley and His Comets: Side 1: Rock Around The Clock & Shake, Rattle & Roll. Side 2: See You Later, Alligator & Rockin’ Through The Rye. On the Festival label. Catalogue numbers: XX-10,887 & MX15821 (15815 on other side). Pristine unplayed condition. Record 3: Johnny O’Keefe: Side 1: Shout (Parts 1 & 2). Side 2: Twist and Shout & Move, Baby Move. On the Leedon label through Festival. Catalogue numbers XX-10,888 & MX15827 (MX16128 on other side). Pristine unplayed condition. All records in plain white sleeves, very good condition. Boxed in black cardboard presentation box with front cover illustration. Condition of box quite good although some crushing to opening side of box. The exact date of this release is difficult to ascertain although the Billy Thorpe single Blue Day & You Don’t Own Me was released in April 1964, while Poison Ivy & Broken Things was released in June 1964. For O’Keefe, Shout (Parts 1 & 2) was released in November 1959, Move, Baby Move in May 1963, and Twist and Shout in November 1963. Haley’s Rock Around The Clock was released by Festival in 1955. As this is quite rare and fragile, it will come packed in a hard-sided box to minimize damage. This comes from the collection of a noted Australian rock'n'roll historian, collector and broadcaster.
