This is where it all began, daddy-o.
The gramophone player even looks like an original Dansette. Don't be square. Put on your blue suede shoes, turn up the volume, click on the photo and rock and roll to Bill Haley and the Comets - Rock Around The Clock (which was released on the Brunswick label - remember that?) and which featured in the 1955 film "The Blackboard Jungle", starring Glen Ford. The rest is history, daddy-o. |
