#five45s is a new-to-me #hashtag I'm trying out. I first saw it in a post by @hughsrecordcollection , who spotted it in a post by @leemarjay . Five for Friday honors the 7" 45 RPM single.
So, here we go. Flip through them. I included an audio clip with each just for grins.
1. Johnny Crawford 'Proud/Lonesome Town' 1963, Promo Copy, Del-Fi Records label
2. Johnny Crawford 'Sandy/Living In The Past' 1963, Promo Copy, Del-Fi Records label
3. Johnny Crawford 'Angelica/Everybody Has Their Day' 1967, Promo Copy, Sidewalk label
4. Gordon Terry 'Run Little Joey (Joey's Lament)/Wild Honey' 1957, Cadence Records label
5. Dr. Feelgood and The Interns 'What's Up, Doc/Right String But The Wrong Yo-Yo' 1962, Okeh label
The three Johnny Crawford's are special to me. I bought them from his widow about a week after he died (April 29, 2021). They're from his personal collection, and have never been played. Back in his heyday, Johnny Crawford would hand out 45 singles when he made personal appearances to promote his music. These were the ones he kept for himself.
I chose the Gordon Terry because it's from 1957, which I hear was a very good year to be born 😎 #speakingfromexperience
And the Dr. Feelgood is for @dona_pinkie , who is making an amazing recovery after a full knee replacement two weeks ago #YouGoGirl 🤘🏻
