Description
PENNY ROCKETS “Johnny B. Goode” Festival EP RARE Aussie 1950’s ROCK ‘n’ ROLL rockabilly jazz
The Penny Rockets – Johnny B. Goode EP (orig. Australia Festival MONO FX-5055)
Release date: July 1958.
On offer here is an original issue of the only EP by Adelaide-based combo, THE PENNY ROCKETS. This EP certainly rates as one of the rarest (and earliest) Aussie rock vinyl artefacts from the 1950’s era. The only other Australian performers that were afforded the luxury of releasing a ROCK ‘n’ ROLL 45 RPM EXTENDED PLAY as early as 1957 or 1958 were JOHNNY O’KEEFE and COL JOYE.

GRADING (also refer photos)
Cover:
front: VG+(+) matt finish: minor creasing (along spine, top & bottom seams, opening edge, all corners), scuffing (along spine, top & bottom seams), surface rubbing.
back: VG+(+) flipback—matt finish: minor creasing (along spine, top & bottom seams, opening edge, all corners), surface rubbing, minor overall discolouration (incl. spot stains).
Record:
visual: VG retains good lustre despite numerous hairlines (seen under strong light).
audible: VG quite acceptable despite some underlying surface noise, also occasional light pops. DEFINITELY NO JUMPS or SKIPS – played from beginning to end. Obviously been played a number of times by a responsible former owner, however sound remains PUNCHY and VIBRANT. AN ENJOYABLE LISTENING EXPERIENCE!
labels: moderate spindle wear.
