Thanks for looking. You are bidding on a 1950’s rockabilly Sun record # 285 by Sonny Burgess. The 78 rpm record in VG++ condition – bright yellow label, minor marks that do not affect sound on both sides- no pops or skips. Two songs: My Bucket’s Got a Hole in it and Sweet Misery . While the pictures show a slight white mark along the outer ring of the label - there is no white mark- the mark is caused by the flash -label is perfect
Sonny Burgess is one of the wildest rockers to record for the legendary Sun label in Memphis. He and his band the Pacers came out of Newport, Arkansas, with a hard-rocking style that, unlike that of most rockabillies, owed little to nothing in the way of a stylistic debt to country music. With his red-dyed hair, matching stage suit and guitar, and wild stage performances, Burgess and the Pacers made mincemeat of the competition on many of the early-'50s rock & roll package tours. Though his Sun releases never brought him much in the way of commercial success, his recordings nonetheless remain landmarks of the early rockabilly style. Currently touring and recording with other Memphis alumni in the Sun Rhythm Section, the rockin' flame that is Sonny Burgess refuses to be snuffed out. ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide
