Description
A MEGA RARE COPY OF THIS GREAT 1950 WESTERN SWING/ROCKABILLY RECORD FROM BILL HALEY AND THE SADDLEMEN
THIS WAS ORIGINALLY RECORDED ON THE US ATLANTIC LABEL AND LATER REALEASED IN THE UK ON MELODISC IN 1956 RENAMING THE BAND AS THE COMETS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR SUCCESS WITH ROCK AND ROLL!
BUT....IF ANYTHING, THIS IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE STUFF THEY WERE BY 1956 CHURNING OUT AS A "ROCK AND ROLL" BAND!
BILL HALEY & HIS SADDLEMEN/THE COMETS
Bill Haley, native of Highland Park, Michigan, became one of the early stars and legends of Rock and Roll, but before then, his musical career was quite varied and concentrated on country music. The Saddlemen were the prelude to the Comets.
The band was formed in late 1949. The Saddlemen ceased to exist when they became the Comets in 1953.
The group was able to promote its act while working with radio station WPWA in Chester, Pennsylvania. Bill was employed by station and like many acts in those days, it was their work on the station that enabled them to reach the listening audiences to help augment their salaries with personal appearances in the listening area. One of their frequent venues for performances was a place called the Twin Bars in Glouchester, New Jersey.
Bill Haley was the leader of the band on stage and for billing purposes, but in reality it was a three way partnership between himself, John Grande and Billy Williamson.
