His friend Sharon Sheeley said in her autobiography that exclusive contracts meant nothing to him and he signed with four different labels at the same time. Her column in a February 1960 issue of Photoplay mentioned a Silver Records release by Jett Powers. That label's discography has nothing for Jett Powers but there is a 1960 Peter James release (That's How I Know / Think I'll Break Down And Cry). PJ Proby denies any connection.
You are so lucky to have a copy of this record! One sold on Ebay last week for $88.00!!! I was hoping to get it but the bids went way too high for me. Especially this time of year :-(
$88's not bad if it's a clean vinyl copy. Styrenes are scary because you never know how they're going to play. They can look great and hiss like hell, or look terrible and play great
What a lovely record. Does anyone know anything about this singer and what are his links to PJ Proby?
