1962 Nut Rocker - B Bumble and the Stingers

Used to play that one

1st single was an EP - 1958 Marty Wilde Endless Sleep/ Her Hair Was Yellow. Still got it somewhere. Would be worth a bit now if the dog hadn't chewed the cover.

 

[viscount17]

I was more Billy Fury than Marty Wilde.

I even remember when Buddy Holly died - mostly because the prefects threatened detention for anyone not signing their memorial card.
