Bill Haley & His Comets – We’re gonna Rock around the Clock – 1954

1 Dollar at a Flea market only because it came out of a jukebox and had a big crack. Supposedly it stayed in a Wurlitzer for 31 years!!! Despite the poor sound it still thinks it shines above reissues on CDs. I figured I would go big for my 300th video so please share facts and comments and thank you for watching. Personal for the April 12th 1954 DECCA Session are Bill Haley – vocals and rhythm guitar Marshall Lytle – string bass Joey Ambrose (aka Joey D’Ambrosio) – tenor saxophone Billy Williamson – steel guitar Johnny Grande – piano Billy Gussak – drums Danny Cedrone – electric guitar this is the first and most common version recorded, all other version was with different personal for a many reasons.
