Bobby Fuller....I Fought The Law (El Paso alternate)

[haulofrecords]

I play 12 string and it's NOT a 12 string. Just a nice trebley Stratocaster and a cool strumming pattern. Long live Bobby Fuller !

Hmm, this version has a totally different bass guitar line than the studio

.Anybody know what the kick drum is doing ? 4 to a measure or 1 on the first beat and then a double on 3and ? thanks

I was just assuming it was a 12 string. The only pictures I've ever seen of him were of his band lip synching on one of those Dick Clark teen shows.

It does sound like a twelve string to me.

[706jim]

I wonder if any pictures exist of him playing the 12 string heard on this song?

@706jim Are you sure he is playing a 12 string and its not 2 6 strings out of faze like needles and pins ? ive never seen a picture of him with a 12 string always his stratocaster [ listen to dont you by bobby vee ]

Great version! I'm from El Paso, and remember him and his brother, Randy.

Thanks for posting this.
