JOHNNY BURNETTE and THE ROCK 'N ROLL TRIO

"JOHNNY BURNETTE AND THE ROCK 'N ROLL TRIO" MEGA-RARE 1957 US ORIGINAL CORAL CRL-57080 !

THE RAREST LP WE HAVE OFFERED ON EBAY, PERHAPS EVER!  THIS MAKES SOMETHING LIKE A SEALED BUTCHER COVER (SOLD A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO) SEEM LIKE CHILDS PLAY. ONLY THE ROBERT JOHNSON 78 WE SOLD LAST WEEK WOULD EVEN APPROACH THE MAGNITUDE AND IMPORTANCE OF THIS LP.

OF COURSE THIS IS THE SAME JOHNNY BURNETTE WHO MORPHED INTO ONE OF THE EARLY 60'S' GREATEST TEEN IDOL HIT MAKERS, AND HIS BROTHER DORSEY, GUITARIST FROM THE TRIO, ALSO GAVE US SOME GREAT POP ROCK HITS IN THE 60'S.  WE'RE TALKING RECORDS LIKE "YOU'RE SIXTEEN", "DREAMIN'", "GOD COUNTRY AND MY BABY", "LITTLE BOY SAD", "TALL OAK TREE" AND MANY MANY MORE.

BUT THIS ALBUM - THIS ABSOLUTE MONSTER OF A ROCKER, DWARFS THE REST OF THEIR OUTPUT AND IS THE ABSOLUTE HEAVIEST, MOST AGGRESSIVE AND POWERFUL PURE ROCK 'N ROLL ALBUM OF ALL TIME, BAR NONE. ELVIS, LITTLE RICHARD, JERRY LEE, CARL PERKINS, GENE VINCENT - FORGET IT. THEIR 50'S OUTPUT ALL PUT TOGETHER PALES IN COMPARISON TO THIS ONE RECORD.

THE YARDBIRDS OWE THIS ALBUM ONE OF THEIR MOST ICONIC TRACKS - "THE TRAIN KEPT A-ROLLIN'", AND THEREFORE "STROLL ON" FROM "BLOW UP"... JERRY LEE LEWIS PICKED UP "DRINKIN' WINE SPO-DEE-O-DEE", HOW MANY EARLY ROCKERS COVERED "LONESOME TEARS IN MY EYES" (written by the RnR Trio) ?  NOT TO MENTION FOGHAT PICKING UP THE WILD ELECTRIC GUITAR VERSION OF "HONEY HUSH" PRESENTED HERE. LEAD GUITARIST PAUL BURLISON IS ONE OF THE UNSUNG GREATEST GUITARISTS OF ALL TIME. HIS AGGRESSIVE, DISTORTED SOUND LAID THE GROUNDWORK FOR AN ENDLESS ARRAY OF THOSE WHO FOLLOWED IN THE 60'S.

AS WITH MANY 50'S ROCK 'N ROLL LP'S, THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED A LOT, HASN'T BEEN BABIED, HAS PROBABLY SPENT A FAIR BIT OF TIME OUT OF THE COVER, STACKED ON A TURNTABLE, AND SHOWS IT. AND YET, IT PLAYS AND SOUNDS GREAT. I HAVE PLAYED THIS ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND OTHER THAN A FEW TICKS & POPS HERE & THERE, THIS SOUNDS GREAT AND PLAYS FINE.

CONDITION DETAILS:

• LIGHT COVER SHELF SOIL
• THERE IS A LIGHT TAN STAIN AT AN ANGLE AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER AND ON THE CORRESPONDING LEFT LOWER BACK CORNER ONLY LIGHTER
• APPROXIMATELY 2" TOP RIGHT CORNER SEAM SPLIT
• TOP & BOTTOM RIGHT CORNERS HAVE TIP PUSH & TOP RIGHT CORNER HAS SLIGHT CREASES, MINOR 
• SPINE HAS SURFACE CRACKS AND EDGE WEAR BUT THE SPINE PRINT IS COMPLETE AND INTACT INCLUDING THE STOCK NUMBER AT THE LOWER SPINE
• THERE IS A TINY RUBBER STAMP THAT APPEARS TO SAY 'CHICAGO' ON THE FRONT LEFT AND THE UPPER RIGHT BACK, MIGHT ERASE OFF WITH A SOFT GUM ERASER, OR JUST LEAVE IT, MINOR
• ONION SKIN INNER SLEEVE
• MAROON & SILVER 'DEEP GROOVE' LABELS ARE BASICALLY CLEAN WITH SPINDLE TRAILS AT THE CENTER HOLES
• THICK STYRENE PRESSING TAKES A LICKING AND KEEPS ON TICKING... MATRIX NUMBERS: MG5032T2   1P, MG5033T2   1P
• PLAYING SURFACES HAVE OVERALL GENERAL PLAY WEAR, SCUFFS AND SCRATCHES, SOME SURPERFICIAL SOME NOT, HAIRLINES AND JUST GENERAL PLAY WEAR ALL OVER.  SIDE 2 ALSO HAS ONE LONG SCUFF. NONE OF WHAT YOU SEE AFFECTS THE PLAYABILITY OF THE RECORD, AND IT ROCKS FROM START TO FINISH WITH SOME FAR LESS THAN EXPECTED SURFACE NOISE. I NOTICED SOME MINOR HISS TOWARD THE END OF SIDE 2 BUT I DON'T HAVE A VPI OR NITTY GRITTY WHICH WOULD CLEAR UP A FAIR AMOUNT OF GROOVE DUST. 
• THIS IS FAR FROM MINT, BUT LIKE ALL CORAL LP'S FROM THIS PERIOD, THEY PLAY GREAT ANYWAY.

TRACKS:

• HONEY HUSH
• LONESOME TRAIN
• SWEET LOVE ON MY MIND
• ROCK BILLY BOOGIE
• LONESOME TEARS IN MY EYES
• ALL BY MYSELF
• THE TRAIN KEPT A-ROLLIN'
• I JUST FOUND OUT
• YOUR BABY BLUE EYES
• CHAINS OF LOVE
• I LOVE YOU SO
• DRINKING WINE SPO-DEE-O-DEE

THANK YOU VERY MUCH & GOOD LUCK!

YES FRIENDS, I AM AWARE THAT GRADY MARTIN PLAYED MUCH OF THE GUITAR ON THIS LP! IF YOU READ THE POSTED COMMENTS BELOW YOU WILL FIND A FUN 'CONVERSATION' I HAD WITH A FRIENDLY EBAYER ABOUT THIS. THE FACT IS, GRADY AND/OR PAUL, WHOEVER DOES THE GUITAR WORK I REFER TO, I THINK WAS THE UNSUNG SONIC & STYLISTIC PREDECESSOR OF EVERYTHING FROM THE YARDBIRDS TO PUNK, GARAGE, AND EVEN GRUNGE GUITAR! FOR ANYONE TO SOUND LIKE THIS IN 1956 IS ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE!
