Buddy Holly and the Crickets Fool's Paradise

[ninjabluewings]

WOW! An Original Tri-Centre Buddy Holly 45 I Have This One Too And I Love All Those Old Records But The Player Is Very Interesting, I Picked Up A Dansette Senator In Original Untouched Condition And Perfect Working Order Too For A Shocking Price Of £2 Just The Other Day, It Has The Original Ful-Fi TC8H Stylus Too, I Think I Will Get It Checked Over And Revamped Soon Actually By My Tecchy Friend. Did You Have Much Work To Do On This Player?

@ninjabluewings Hi, i didnt have to do much at all, as usual the grease on the mechanism had turned to glue, so a good clean and fresh grease and oil was all that was needed plus a new stylus and a couple of caps, i think i paid a fiver for this

Cool! I dig the original Coral single and the record player! Where did you find a compatible stylus for it?

[paul36uk]

@galoon , hi, i managed to pick one up off ebay after a great deal of searching

Strange thing...the song shows up as a 1965 hit. I guess it's not too unusual.... Post-mortem popularity and all

@guyiyi Buddy was such a workaholic in the studio that they were able to release new songs up to 10 years after his death. He was already a big star before his death, and would have had these hits as well as so much more.

Thanks, got a couple more to do this winter, the song is on the flip side of "think it over"

I also never heard this song before, thnsks for posting it and keep bringing those old players back to life.
