I already have an mp3 of this and was looking for a cover to it — I didn’t expect to also get the label scan. Thanks.
I must have started following your blog much later than this because I don’t remember this post.

Comment on HARMONIKA-TRIO HARMONIE by Les Palmer
Hi Andreas,
Nice to see you have discovered the Mundharmonika Trio Harmonie, I discovered them while doing my National Service in Germany in 1953/54. I feel sure that there must be a lot of other of their recordings still undiscovered.
I have 4 tracks which you don’t mention on your blog:
Addio Amore, Harmonica Dixie, Boogie Woogie and Don’t be cruel but unfortunately I can’t upload them.
All the best and keep up the good work!
Les

I went to school with a Jim Balcom (yes he was handsome). He played sax for school dances at Narbonne High in Lomita, CA. same one? In the 50′s.

Ich hatte die wabbelsingle als Kind und kann mich aber nurnnoch wage erinnern. Leider funktionieren die dropbox-links nicht mehr. Super-Schade, sniff.
Und Youtube verweigert sich sowieso. Das mp3 wäre halt schön gewesen…

Comment on GARY EDWARDS COMBO, Franz Liszt Twist, 1962 by Andy Thompson
Anyone remember The Teenage Show from the late 50s in the Gaumont? Compulsory for increasingly hormonal teenagers. There was a sort of male prowling at the interval, which consisted of various groups of us in unregimented lines, feigning disinterest in the still seated girls. The aforementioned females however didn’t have to feign their disinterest….it was genuine! But I digress, the band that (Were they bands in the 50s…or groups?)..the group that I recall most distinctly were The Dominoes. Sadly I remember them so well because every single time they hit the stage a chorus of boos would resound through the auditorium, and not stop until they’d left. Ergo we never got a chance to find out if they were any good as nobody ever heard them!! If any band could be called the most popular at the time, it would have been The Sons Of Adam, fronted by my old St Joseph’s classmate Bernard Poyser…great version of Benny Spellman’s Fortune Teller, but I suppose pipped at the fame post by Amen Corner. Weird to think that when we’re dodging the crazed crowds on the ground floor of Primark, we’re in what was the Gaumont doing a 21st century version of The Teenage Show prowl and below in the men’s department, we stroll around a much changed and unrecognizable Top Rank, where ten years after The Teenage Show I was still on the prowl.

I remember the teenage show and so does Howard Williams who sent me a photograph recently of the Cardiff band the Searchers. I am not able to post the photo which was taken from the wings of the stage, but here is the description …Note from Howard Williams says … I have a photo in my possesion showing THE SEARCHERS on stage at the Gaumont Cardiff with FRANK SMITH, LES ROCKY, ROY SHUNTER, RONNIE (CHUFFER)FOX & MYSELF 1960 ish … (after Micky Gee had left says Howard)
I would say that Frank Smith was far right with that Tuxedo bass, that Roy Shunter had fair hair so he is nearest to camera. Chuffa is faced looking at Les on the drums and has perhaps a Hofner. With yourself Howard Williiams singing. Must be a manager for the Gaumont against the curtain ?
I actually bumped into Bernard Poyser today at the Cottage in Cardiff. As you say the Sons of Adam were big and well well known at the time, and with a huge fan club run by his girlfriend/wife !
Glad to hear your memories … so still some of us still around !

Though facebook and spotify may change a bit, I can’t see how they can replace unheard rips, precise information and great taste like in your blog. Thanks a lot for your work and dedication. Keep up the great work and have a great year!

Comment on “HANDSOME” JIM BALCOM, Corrido Rock, 1958 by Robert G. Perrin
I purchased this record in 1958, and I still have it and play it from time to time. I have never seen a picture of “Handsome” Jim Balcom, but if he looks as look as his music, he is indeed handsome!

The Teenage Show, that brings back some memories. One of the inhouse lighting engineers used to live in Greenway Road, Rumney and used to get me and some of the lads free tickets. I particularly remember one of my favourites ‘Dickie Pride’ The Shiek of Shake.

Comment on “HANDSOME” JIM BALCOM, Corrido Rock, 1958 by Lupe Esparza Phillips
Hi Jennifer, was very surprised to find this site. I noticed you said was when referring to your father. My Sister and I were known as the petites and sang with the local Orange County bands, one day we were playing at a dance in Long Beach for a car club at the Morgan Hall when a guy approched us and asked if we wanted to audition forArt Laboe and gave us a card to call. We ended up singing with all the big name groups of that time including Ray Charles.We often rehearsed at your Dads house in Lomita. Would love to communicate with you.

Comment on “HANDSOME” JIM BALCOM, Corrido Rock, 1958 by Joan Stouffer
After searching around, I find that “Handsome Jim Balcom” was indeed the Jim Balcom, who, with his brother Orville, played great dance music at high school events and local dances. I still have a picture of them playing their saxaphones along with someone else I can’t remember. I graduated from Narbonne Hi in 1959. I read of Orville’s death in ’08 I believe. A shame. Sounded like a really great guy.
What is Jim doing these days? He must have entered his 70′s by now as I have. Thanks for keeping me posted. Joan Rogers
