my Dad's vinyl...

[CRAZY-HORSE]

GENE VINCENT  "the gene Vincent singles album" vinyl.

twenty track compilation.
Mr.Vincent was never big in his homeland back in the day but he had a huge following in the UK.
was constantly on tour there from the last 1950s through to the early seventies before he died.
all these songs were singles in the UK, most charted.
Be-Bop-a-Lula is often listed in the top 10 influential songs of the 1950s and rightfully so.
he has a bit of a Buddy Holly vocal quality at times, I guess back in that era people wanted to sound
like either Buddy of Elvis...
not a bad album by any means a handful of tracks I wasn't keen on but the rest were good.
