My son, at 8 years old, played this song every day for about a year on a Victrola that he saved for months and bought after Christmas that year. He's 18 now and he listens to the Beatles.
I'm not sure about the history of the Coronet label, but I think they must have had something to do with Philips. I have a few records that the same pressing appear on both labels, even though they are all Australian pressings. I've also got Johnnie Ray on Columbia's which were pressed here.
I just had a look, and Coronet was the main label used by the Australian Record Company of Sydney beween 1957 & 1960. The released mainly CBS recordings along with some Australian recordings. I guess we also got the same recordings through the UK Philips catalogue.
Can someone help me with this, please? Which version of this song has a creeeeeaky door opening and an eerie voice saying "Allo?..........Come Eeeen".
Anybody know? I heard this in the very late '60s, I believe.

That's a wierd label...
Wonder why this record is on a new independent?
Wasn't Ray Columbia in US and Phillips in UK?
