USED VINYL RECORD. PART OF A COLLECTION NOW UP FOR SALE.

COL JOYE (BORN COLIN FREDERICK JACOBSEN) WAS THE FIRST AUSTRALIAN ROCK AND ROLL SINGER TO HAVE A NUMBER ONE RECORD AUSTRALIA WIDE. COL STARTED PERFORMING AND RECORDING IN THE LATE 1950s WITH HIS BACKING BAND ORIGINALLY CALLED THE KJ QUINTET, THE PREDECESSOR OF WHAT WOULD BECOME THE JOY BOYS WHICH INCLUDED HIS BROTHERS KEVIN AND KEITH.

AS COL JOYE HE ENJOYED A STRING OF HITS ON THE LOCAL AND NATIONAL CHARTS OF AUSTRALIA BEGINNING IN 1959 WITH HIS FIRST SINGLE, "STAGGER LEE" WHICH WAS A COVER OF THE LLOYD PRICE US ORIGINAL. HOWEVER, HIS THIRD SINGLE, "BYE BYE BABY" REACHED NUMBER 3 ON THE AUSTRALIAN KENT MUSIC REPORT CHARTS IN 1959, FOLLOWED BY "ROCKIN' ROLLIN' CLEMENTINE" ALSO PEAKING AT NUMBER 3. HIS FIFTH SINGLE, "OH YEAH UH HUH", BECAME HIS MOST SUCCESSFUL, PEAKING AT NUMBER 1. HE ALSO HAD OTHER CHARTING SINGLES, INCLUDING "YES SIR, THAT'S MY BABY", PEAKING AT NUMBER 5 NATIONALLY. COL WAS AN ORIGINAL MEMBER OF THE TELEVISION PROGRAM BANDSTAND, AND APPEARED REGULARLY ON THE SHOW OVER A FOURTEEN YEAR PERIOD. COL'S CAREER LEVELLED OFF AFTER THE CHANGES TO THE MUSIC SCENE ASSOCIATED WITH THE RISE OF THE BEATLES AND IT WAS NOT UNTIL 1973 THAT HE HAD ANOTHER HIT RECORD WITH "HEAVEN IS MY WOMAN'S LOVE" REACHING NUMBER 1 ON THE GO-SET CHARTS THAT YEAR. COL JOYE IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS "ONE OF THE BIG 3" IN AUSTRALIAN ROCK'N'ROLL OF THE 1950s SHARING THE MANTLE WITH JOHNNY O'KEEFE AND LONNIE LEE.

THIS ALBUM IS AN ORIGINAL TEN INCH, EIGHT TRACK, 33 1/3 RPM ALBUM. THE SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH ONLY MINOR WEAR AND A LITTLE SOILING. THE YELLOWING SHOWN IN THE SCAN COMES FROM THE SLEEVE BEING SCANNED AND IS NOT APPARENT ON THE SLEEVE ITSELF. THE RECORD IS ALSO GRADED VERY GOOD. IT HAS BEEN PLAYED RIGHT THROUGH AND THERE ARE NO SKIPS ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME CRACKLING HERE AND THERE WHICH IS TO BE EXPECTED FROM A RECORD WHICH IS NEARLY 65 YEARS OLD. OVERALL IT IS A VERY GOOD BUY FOR A COLLECTOR OF AUSTRALIAN MUSIC.

TRACK LISTING: Side 1: Dance To The Bop / School Days / Fools Like Me / Ah, Poor Little Baby.

Side 2: Rip It Up / This Little Boy's Gonna Rockin' / Love Me / Bye Bye Baby Goodbye.
