BILLY "CRASH" CRADDOCK WAS AN AMERICAN ROCK'N'ROLL SINGER, HOWEVER, HE ONLY MANAGED TO CHART ONE SONG ON THE BILLBOARD TOP 100 SONGS AS A ROCK'N'ROLL SINGER. BUT IN AUSTRALIA HE WAS ABSOLUTELY HUGE AFTER A FILM CLIP (THEY DIDN'T CALL THEM VIDEO CLIPS IN THOSE DAYS) OF HIM PERFORMING "BOOM BOOM BABY" WAS SHOWN ON AUSTRALIAN TELEVISION, BUT HE WAS TOTALLY UNAWARE OF THE REACTION IN AUSTRALIA. NOT LONG AFTER, HE WAS BOOKED ON A TOUR OF AUSTRALIA AS PART OF THE LEE GORDON BIG SHOWS AND HE WAS BLOWN AWAY BY THE CROWD REACTION WHEN HE LANDED IN SYDNEY WHICH WAS CLOSE TO EMULATING THE BEATLES ARRIVAL IN AUSTRALIA. CRASH HAD SEVERAL TOP OF THE CHART HITS IN AUSTRALIA AND HE WAS ALWAYS GRATEFUL TO THE AUSTRALIAN FANS FOR THEIR SUPPORT. I HAD A LONG CHAT WITH CRASH SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND HE REITERATED HOW GRATEFUL HE WAS TO AUSTRALIA AND HE WAS A HELL OF A NICE GUY TO BOOT. CRASH LATER WENT ON TO MAKE A NAME FOR HIMSELF IN COUNTRY MUSIC IN THE USA THROUGH THE '60s AND INTO THE '70s UNDER HIS REAL NAME BILLY CRADDOCK.

THIS RARE FOUR TRACK EP (EXTENDED PLAY) AUSTRALIAN RELEASE RECORD INCLUDES PROBABLY FOUR OF CRASH'S BIGGEST HITS. BOTH THE OUTER SLEEVE AND THE RECORD ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.

TRACK LISTING: Side 1 - Boom Boom Baby / One Last Kiss. Side 2 - Well, Don't You Know / Don't Destroy Me.

7" VINYL RECORD
