I can remember the first time I heard it - I was 10 and my auntie took me to the funfair which came to the rough ground down the street from my gran’s. They played in on the Gallopers, and my life was changed forever. |

From: GUEST,jim bainbridge I he'll never last' (musically, of course) bought the 78 some time in 57/58- my mum listened to it & said 'he'll never last' (musically of course. Well BH lasted a long time, and I'm still a fan, but I'm not sure he means much to today's generation..... |

Fortunately a showman who ran rides at a fair, which occasionally visited our part of Scrumpyshire, upheld that great tradition... Fingers crossed covid has not permanently killed off funfair rock and roll... |

02 Mar 21 - 02:12 AM (#4095629) Subject: RE: That'll be the day! - recorded 64 years ago From: Joe Offer Wikipedia says "That'll Be the Day" was written by Buddy Holly and Jerry Allison. It was first recorded by Buddy Holly and the Three Tunes for Decca in 1956, but Decca did not release that recording. It was re-recorded on February 25, 1957 by Buddy Holly and his new band, The Crickets. And it gets even more convoluted and confusing. Read the Wikipedia article. It's an interesting insight into the music industry. |

02 Mar 21 - 04:46 AM (#4095642) Subject: RE: That'll be the day! - recorded 64 years ago From: GUEST,jim bainbridge The 78 recording of this classic song I bought in England in 1957 or 8? was on the Coral label. I don't have it any more but I have a feeling it was labelled as by 'The Crickets' with no mention of BH, although he was the singer & certainly WAS billed on 'Peggy Sue' & the rest. - it's a long time ago, is my memory playing tricks? |

It was the Crickets only and I had it as well and along with many others over the years it got broken...shellac! However Lonnie Donegan 78's on vinyl survived and quite a few others that I really looked after |

03 Mar 21 - 05:53 AM (#4095796) Subject: RE: That'll be the day! - recorded 64 years ago From: JHW 'funfair rock and roll... ' is yet another memory. Waltzer cars spinning while guys hang over the back to take the money. Long time since I did that but you're right about the showground amps and speakers. Todays music lovers I guess would rather download a track and listen on the ubiquitous smartphone. |
