Thumbs up if you remember, or had to use, one of those little plastic adapters that you put into the hole of a 45 to play on the "pin" on a 33 tunrtable.

Or better, yet, waiting to get your paper-route/allowance money so you could run down to the record store to get your music! None of this instant-gratification.

This is "Devil With A Blue Dress On / Good Golly Miss Molly" and it came out in 1966.

Back then, I think "ball" referred to dancing...it was later in time when it took on the meaning you're referring to.

note: slang that came to east coat suburbia, often began in California 2 years earlier. But not always, some came from NYC, but most from California. Also sometimes from other places.

But there was a 2-year lag from California to East Coast suburbia, and another year or 2 til it reached the farm areas of East Coast.

slang "ball" came to suburbia in late 60's. Before that it may have meant "fazoozoozuck" or it may have meant "dance", amon R&B musicians.

I have no evidence that it meant "fazoozoozuck" before the hippies took ahold of it in late 60's, but I am not omniscient, so it may have.

Who cares? I just like to get the details right, that's all.
