RARE NW Ron Holden with The Thunderbirds "Love You So" /"My Babe" Nite Owl #10 1959. "My Babe" is a nice rocker. Recorded in Fred Rasmussen's living room in North Seattle a few blocks from where I grew up. Great story about this recording on HistoryLink courtesy of Peter Blecha. “We did it in Fred Rasmussen’s living room. For 19 hours there were 14 people in this room which was 10 x 12 [feet] -- it was the engineer, his wife, his daughter, and his dog sitting there on the couch, and a couple of the guys’ girlfriends. Larry Nelson was playing the claves and Chuck Markulis was playing the tambourine. Little Willie Bell and I were in the alcove and the other guys were all in the other room. And every time the dog would bark, we’d have to start over! On “Love You So” it was up into the 90s on takes! It was ridiculous!” Session completed, the Master Tape was sent to Challenge Records, which promptly shipped it back saying that their corporate focus had recently shifted to Country/Western music. But Nelson and Markulis reminded them of their previous agreement and the label compromised by shipping the would-be record moguls 5,000 label-less copies of the “Love You So” / “My Babe” single. That was when Nelson and Markulis’ Nite Owl Record company (423 Boren Street) was born. The first task was designing, printing, and gluing (one-by-one) new labels on those discs. Record has some super light surface scratches/scuffs light surface scratches and plays with a light background hiss that is evident on all pressings I've heard . Labels have ink.
