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

BENNY (BENJAMIN) JOY WAS BORN IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA ON NOVEMBER 5, 1935. SOON AFTER HIS BIRTH HIS PARENTS MOVED TO FLORIDA WHERE HE GREW UP AND WAS TAUGHT BY FRIENDS TO PLAY THE GUITAR. HE GOT TO KNOW "BIG" JOHN TAYLOR AND TOGETHER THEY DECIDED TO MAKE A RECORD. THE OWNER OF TRI-DEC LABEL IN FLORIDA WAS ONLY TOO HAPPY TO GIVE THE BOYS A BREAK AND THE RESULT WAS A COUPLE OF SONGS AMONGST WHICH "SPIN THE BOTTLE" BECAME WELL-KNOWN AND ARE AMONGST THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER BY ROCKABILLY FANS. THE VERSION ON TRI-DEC IS DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE LATER CUT FOR DIXIE. OTHER RECORDINGS OF THE SAME TIME RECORDED IN FLORIDA WERE, "LITTLE RED BOOK", "HIGH SCHOOL BABY" AND "MISS BOBBY SOX". AFTER HE SWITCHED LABELS TO RAM / ANTLER HE RECORDED SOME MORE GOOD ROCKERS SUCH AS "ITTIE BITTIE EVERYTHING".  BENNY APPEARED ON MANY LOCAL AND NATIONWIDE RADIO AND TELEVISION NETWORKS, BOTH NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY INCLUDING DICK CLARK'S AMERICAN BANDSTAND.

THE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY VERY MINOR SIGNS OF WEAR INCLUDING A SMALL CREASE IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER. THE RECORD IS GRADED AS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. ABSOLUTELY CLASSIC ROCKABILLY.
