Description
they call you a small fry / im gonna tell your conscience on you ......this is one of the rarest records to find featuring eddie cochran on guitar, and may have inspired eddies own song "cradle baby", please read article below and listen to the sound clips with links also below...the record has a lot of wear and background, it's from around 1956 as far as i can tell from various sources.....it plays through on both sides fine, but with background..rather than grading it in "good" condition which may be misleading, i'd grade it as ...lots of wear but no deep scratches or scruffs.. visually almost vg-, but to be sure, somewhere between "fair" and vg- condition.
this article by mr. chapman is found via the starday custom web site and is about the beamon forse record on rodney 514..the article also tells about this rich vein record... As far as I’m concerned, not only is this the first real true rockabilly disc in the series, but if there was ever a top ten Starday Custom listing, this would definitely be included! Great rockabilly guitar led, slap bass bopper featuring Beamon on vcls, his brother Ted on lead guitar, JT “Tiny” Smith on bass, Charlie Craddock on steel guitar and and unknown piano player. Born Beamon Tom Forse on 4th December 1934 in San Augustine, TX, he had a radio show with his brother Ted at KTXJ (Jaspar, TX) and he knew George Jones since he was a child.This disc was cut at Gold Star Studios, Houston TX., and it was inspired by hearing Elvis Presley’s “That’s All Right Mama” being played over the radio. The disc was financed by Rodney Spaford (hence the label name I guess) who was a rich guy from Sabine, TX. Beamon moved to California after this release, and he recorded as Tom Forse on Rich-Vein Records (owned by Terry Fell and features Eddie Cochran on guitar). Beamon also booked top acts on the west coast and wrote songs for Terry Fell, who would pay him cash for them. Beamon died in 2004, leaving behind seven children (& a few grandchildren I imagine). Beamon and Truitt Forse were cousins. (See Starday 596 when I get to publishing it). As yet, I’ve never heard the A side, and the only label shot I have of this disc is too blurred to use for this site, but it was supposedly issued on both 45 & 78rpm formats. Anybody got a label shot and (better still) a photo of this guy? (MC / John Burton / Phil Tricker / Neil Scott)...hear both below ....PLEASE GIVE IT A SPIN!
