CLIFF RICHARD & The SHADOWS - 'Dynamite' - 78rpm 1959

[texetera]

I remember singing along to this when I was 13. Listening to it now, I think half the lyrics I was singing were wrong, although they sounded right at the time. It's amazing how many years you can be singing the wrong lyrics.

Is there a 78 rpm version of apache ?

[hivibaxi]

This song was considered answer of cliff to Elvis's song Jail House Rock in the game of faster singing.

Alucinante, ver girar un 78 rpm, soy un adicto a los tocadiscos antiguos solo me falta plata para comprar, mi sueño es un Bettor Dual 1211.

Fucking A-MAZING ! People that think Cliff Richard represents lame 70's gospel 'rock',should take a listen to these Late 5t's, early 6t's tracks.

@gxocgxoc What on Earth has this got to do with Prince Charles.? Please stop polluting other people's contributions. (A very nice contribution I might add, much enjoyed.)

[normalil]

Oh! Can't believe that I actually found this! I believe that it was the flip side of travelling light, and we as children were not allowed to play it because it frightened our little brother. He used to run screaming from the room!

Thank you for this clip....Cem-TURKEY

Rock was born in 78 rpm.

The first Rock records were in 78 rpm.

In 1959 Cliff Richard was 18/19 years old

[mendes1970]

@heavy21metal Yes friend, and I guess that I was there because I love the fifties, and many times listening raritys like this, I feel that my soul already know it, before to listen it.

Can you explain?

Elvis WHO???

[GlennBaldwin75]

@musicfreak1967 Cliff is good - Elvis was the KING

[craig1974]

Its a shame he was only big in the UK, and not the USA. He could of been big here.

[NeilThompson30]

@craig1974 - he had 8 top 40 singles in the States - 3 of them were top 10 (Devil woman, We don't talk anymore and Dreaming) - he obviously wasn't as big there as in most countries - but I think there lies the problem - he was (and still is) such a big star in most countries he didn't have time to tour the States as much as he wanted - and you have to tour constantly over there to remain in the spotlight.

[PAULLONDEN]

@craig1974 Yeah unbelievable.it might be the U.S. was very protective about Elvis as their "King of Rock'n'Roll",

and Cliff never got a foot in the door. Yet this is some of the tightest rock'n'roll,Britain could throw back at the U.S.

At that time there still was some sort of U.S. Musicians Union policy,that prevented foreign entertainers to get a foothold in the U.S.The Beatles changed all that.

I never understood that Elvis/Cliff rivalry anyway, I liked'm both.

Excelente sonido. Nunca imaginé que un 78 rpm sonara así.

[TheDamnCat]

Nice upload man! I have this on a A side with The Shadows on B. Sweet!

[kenfig]

Thing is in '59 they must have been selling singles in 2 formats cos many singles were 45s by then in the U.K.

cliff excells on this one

[martluth]

Record players like that are a sign of a generation that will never be like that one was. Loved those days. They came and went to fast but live on in all of us who grew up during this time.
