Description
I BELIEVE THIS FIRE #1022 78 RPM RECORD TO BE THE LAST ROCK AND ROLL 78 RPM RECORD TO BE PRODUCED IN THE USA. THE RECORD "THERE'S SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND" BY BOBBY MARCHAN WAS PRESSED IN JUNE OF 1960, PREVIOUSLY IT WAS SAID THAT FIRE #1008 "FANNIE MAE" BY BUSTER BROWN WAS THE LAST OF THE US 78 RPM RECORDS BUT CLEARLY FIRE #1022 IS LATER.
BOBBY MARCHAN JOINED HUEY SMITH ON ACE RECORDS IN 1958, BECOMING PART OF HUEY'S SINGING GROUP, THE CLOWNS. THEY RECORDED "DON'T YOU JUST KNOW IT" AND "DON'T YOU KNOW YOCKOMO".
IN EARLY 1959, HE LEFT THE GROUP AND FORMED ANOTHER, CALLED THE TICK TOCKS. HE SIGNEDAS A SOLO PERFORMER ON FIRE RECORDS IN 1960.
THE RECORDS CONDITION IS E- WITH LIGHT SCRATCHES. THERE IS A 1/16 OF AN INCH EDGE FLAKE ON SIDE B. WHICH DOES NOT COME NEAR THE LEAD IN GROOVE.
SIDE A. "THERE'S SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND PART 2."
SIDE B. "THERE'S SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND PART 1."
THIS IS NOT ONLY A PIECE OF HISTORY BUT ALSO A GREAT RECORD!
