Description
• This 45 is in Excellent shape. It has mild surface wear and very minor, and few, light scratches, but nothing you can hear when the music is playing. The Labels are Excellent with only a few imperfections as seen on the hole rims. I just listened to it on the headphones and other than some good old light crackle at the top, it plays perfectly on both sides and... THIS THING ROCKS!
Formed in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1959, by Hal Schneider (singer & drummer (Joker)), brothers Joe & Jimmy Blevins (Rhythm & Lead Guitars (Aces)) & Leon Simmons (Bassist (Ace)). Three Aces & A Joker only ever recorded two songs (Sleigh Bell Rock & Booze Party). Although both songs have featured on numerous compilations & have also been covered many times, the band itself only released the two songs on the one 7" single in November 1960, which was limited to just 600 copies when 1st pressed. Some of the bands who have covered the songs are: Big Sandy And His Fly-Rite Boys covered 'Booze Party' on their 1994 album Big Sandy Presents The Fly-Rite Boys The Cramps, whilst never actually recording a studio version of 'Booze Party', they played it as part of their live set in the late 1980's which ended up on some unofficial live albums. King Rats covered 'Booze Party' on their 1991 debut single Booze Party.
