Bob Eubanks Keep It Burnin 45 Goliath Bobby Hart Rocker

34

Released by Goliath Records (#1354) some time in the early to mid-1960's. This 45 features famed then-California DJ Bob Eubanks rocking it out to two songs about smoking. The record is novelty in a sense, as it is themed and the Tex Williams/Merle Travis cover of "Smoke Smoke Smoke Smoke That Cigarette" is pretty hammed up, but still a fun upbeat rocker... but the flip side "Keep It Burnin'" (written by Bob Todd/Barry Richards/Bobby Hart/Marky) is primitive, super-fast garage rocker with an urgency to "Keep It Burnin'"! A true gem in my opinion. This record is very rare and sought after. I can confirm that this 45 has NEVER been played but for once. It came from an original shipping carton that originally house 25 copies of the single, which came straight from the pressing plant back in the mid 1960's. The reason I can confirm this is because I extracted the record from the carton myself. This 45 came from Tony Butala (founder of The Lettermen) who produced this record for his label, Goliath Records. I am fairly confident that you will not find another copy around that can be 100% confirmed to have never been played but for once!

Both labels are NM
Both sides of the vinyl are NM, having only been played once. There is a very small, slight storage warp that does not harm play in the slightest.

As stated, this particular copy comes from the founder of The Lettermen, Tony Butala's personal collection. Tony is a great archivist and has always saved a handful of copies of just about every album or single he has ever been involved with, on any medium it came out on, whether he sang on it, produced it, or put it out on his own label. I am Tony's great nephew and this Easter we were talking and he asked if I would be interested in any of his old albums, as he knows I am a vintage music collector and vendor. Starting this spring of 2010 Tony and I went to his warehouse and have started unearthing some real nice and rare stuff, so be sure to add me to your favorite sellers list and keep checking back over the coming weeks and months as there are sure to be some stupendously rare and great items that are Lettermen and even un-Lettermen related such as this 45 going up! Be sure to take advantage of this great and rare opportunity to get a good assortment of hard to find items that are guaranteed authentic and unplayed! While it is neat that these are coming from Tony's personal collection, the best part is is that these items being offered can be confirmed to be straight from the manufacturer, having never been opened or played and are known to have always been in temperature controlled storage units. That is something truly special for a collector!
