THE DIAMONDS - ROCK - PROMO "BLACK DENIM TROUSERS & MOTORCYCLE BOOTS/ NIP SIP" CORAL - 1955

The group's first performance was in the basement of St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Toronto singing in a Christmas minstrel show. The audience's reaction to the Somerville-led group was so tremendous that they decided that night they would turn professional.  After 18 months of rehearsal, they drove to New York and tied for 1st Place on Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts. The prize of being guest artist for a week on Godfrey’s show led to a recording contract with Coral Records.  This song was recorded by Canadian group The Diamonds, who did it for the Coral Records label; the Diamonds achieved fame a couple years later with the Rock and Roll classic "Little Darlin".

 This is the first 45rpm record ever recorded by the Diamonds in 1955. It was first recorded in 1955 by the Cheers and went to #6 on the Billboard chart. Vaughn Monroe also covered the song and his version went to #38 on Billboard. This record is a very rare original promo in near mint condition. Matrix numbers are machine stamped in the deadwax. For you Diamond's collector's this is a must.
