Guaranteed original home demo reel, by the Florida rockabilly and teen sound legend.
These run the gamut from Elvis-style teeners, to the type of folk rock Dion was perfecting in the mid-'60s.
A few of the songs have social issue themes, with Benny also exploring his spiritual side.
All acoustic -- no studio wizardry.    Just a great songwriter (and underrated singer) in action.
This tape was Benny's property, up until his death.
I'm selling this on consignment, and am not personally profiting from the sale.

Please note:  this is not a record.   It is an original reel-to-reel tape.
Please DO NOT ask me for a CD of these songs.   It's not fair to the winner of the auction.

 
Includes the following:

• SCARLET RED AND VIOLET BLUE
• GOING BACK TO TAMPA
• IF IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE
• NINETY NINE YEARS
• LITTLE BOY
• WHITE MAN, BLACK WOMAN
• EVERYDAY I FEEL MY LOVE FOR YOU A DYING
• LOOK ON ME JESUS
• TWO MORE SONGS WHOSE TITLES AREN'T GIVEN
• MULTIPLE TAKES OF ANOTHER SONG (ON THE OTHER SIDE) AS BENNY GOES THROUGH THE 
  RECORDING PROCESS

Important note:   More and more packages sent overseas are getting hung up
in customs.   It is not unusual for some packages to take 6-8 weeks to reach buyers,
even though they're being sent out within a day or two of payment.   
Germany, France, Italy, Greece, and Australia have all reported longer than
usual customs delays.   Please be patient -- I mail packages out very quickly,
but the rest is up to the postal service!
