Description
A really rare Crickets EP. It is Coral EC 81192 and it has four different vocalist that recorded with the Crickets between 1957 and 1960. Side 1 track 1 is "Great Balls of Fire" vocal by Earl Richards (or Earl Henry or Earl Sinks or Earl Henry Sinks or Sinkx Mitchell - had more alias than the James - Younger gang but when he introduced himself to me back in the seventies he gave me a promo of "Margie, Who's Watching The Baby?" and said his name was Earl Richards. Regardless he Stepped up to the plate when Buddy died and did a heck of a good job. Side 1 track 2 is by the best Buddy Holly sound alike to ever come out of Lubbock, Texas (or Sulphur Springs, Texas) Harold David Box singing his composition of "Don't Cha Know". Side 2 track 1 is by the man himself Buddy Holly on a super cover of Chuck Willis' "It's Too Late" and track 2 on side 2 is Sonny Curtis doing "Baby My Heart" which if I'm not mistaken was the flip side of the Crickets first release on Coral records of "More Than I Can Say" also with Sonny handling the vocals. So, there you have it. However, please take a close look at the photos of this rarity. It really is the best one around. Guaranteed!
