Dim Dim The Lights - Bill Haley and his Comets

[hpc4uandme]

Awesome record on an Awesome table! I've got one just like her, but its highly modified. Also dat Wooden Grado arm.....

In 1954, "Dim Dim the Lights" become the anthem of some teenager´s party.

"stolen" from the Four Top Hatters who had recorded this shortly before Haley. The Top Hatters had a previous hit with "45 Men In A Telephone Booth" which helped fuel the phone booth stuffing craze. As to the father of R & R, I'd go with Mr. Ike Turner.

@reddiaperbaby Ike Turner....Father of Rock & Roll?.........These guys were ALL the fathers of Rock & Roll. The Marcells also "Stole" Blue Moon.........Would you still like the moldy old tune if they had not?....."Stealing" Was and is still all the rage in music........Perhaps we should call it....Borrowing and returning it in better condition....Yes?

From right here in Chester. Bill is the father of rock & roll.

[jaulo4]

esa cancion!!.. yo tengo el vinilo hecho por DECCA seee

[jdwilson08]

¿in serio? ¿El vinilo es 45 solo o 33 álbum?

[jaulo4]

33 album, la verdad no se mucho de eso.. mas si se que cuando hay mas de 4 canciones por cara es porque esta grabado a 33 1/3 R.P.M ..el vinilo esta titulado como Rock Around the clock with bill haley and this comets

[jdwilson08]

con perdón pero mi español es muy malo! ¿el caro es en ingles o español impreso? Creo que eso es el primero album con el grupo llame "Bill Haley and his Comets" pero hay muchos discos antes "Comets". Eso tiene mucho valor tambien.

[vinylsingleman]

Glad someone finally posted this great early Haley/Comets hit. Thanks.

[jdwilson08]

One of these days I'm going to get around to recording more of these. I've been "off line" for a few weeks. Thanks for the comments!

[istgone]

[jdwilson08]

Cool!  I'm glad to help!

FAB BILL HALEY SONG

[jdwilson08]

It really is. I'm lucky this 78 is in such good shape. I like it much better than Rock around the Clock.
