AN EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS GREAT ROCK AND ROLL 78 FROM BILL HALEY AND HIS COMETS ON UK BRUNSWICK

 
DON'T KNOCK THE ROCK
FROM THE FILM....
DON’T KNOCK THE ROCK
(Fred Karger / Robert E. Kent)

Bill Haley & his Comets


Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Well my baby don’t do nothin’ but rock an’ roll that’s all


You can knock be-bop and you can knock swing
Say what you want about any old thing, but
Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Well my baby don’t do nothin’ but rock an’ roll that’s all


Now when my baby’s dancin’ she’s as tall as a clown
If she ever fell, she’d have to fall outa town
Dances in the kitchen with her feet in the hall
Rollin’ the rock she’s-a havin’ a ball


Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Well my baby don’t do nothin’ but rock an’ roll that’s all


(Musical Break)


You can knock mambo or dozy doe
Say what you want about any of those, but,
Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Well my baby don’t do nothin’ but rock an’ roll that’s all


You can knock-a the jive and boogie beat
Kick about those with both of your feet, but,
Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Well my baby don’t do nothin’ but rock an’ roll that’s all


When my baby’s dancin’ she is really alive
Grabs herself a partner, Mr. Five by Five
Swings him from the tree like a happy baboon
Two steps back, throws him over the moon


Well, don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Don’t knock the rock (Don’t knock the rock)
Well my baby don’t do nothin’ but rock an’ roll that’s all
 
THIS WAS THE LAST OF BILL HALEY'S UK HITS - AND ONE OF HIS BEST!
 
ENTERED THE UK CHARTS 8 FEB 1957
HIGHEST POSITION - # 7 :   8 WEEKS ON CHART
FILM PLOT...
 
Rock-and-roller Arnie Haynes returns to his hometown as a hero to the teenagers. However, the mayor and other concerned adults have banned him from performing in his hometown because they consider him and his music a negative influence on the youth. But with the help of disc jockey/publicist Alan Freed and fellow artists (including Bill Haley and the Comets and Little Richard), they hope to convince everyone that rock and roll is not as dangerous as the adults think.
 

CONDITION IS RATED AS EXCELLENT

POSTAGE STUFF

To obey eBaYs latest crackpot edict (in order that they can make money on the postage costs) I have listed this record as having "FREE POSTAGE"

THIS ONLY COVERS UK 2nd CLASS DELIVERY

THIS IS A FRAGILE 78 AND NORMALLY THE ACTUAL COMBINED PRICE OF SAFE PACKING AND POSTAGE IS

IN THE UK   2nd CLASS £4.00    1st CLASS MAIL  £5.00 

OVERSEAS AIRMAIL SMALL PACKET IS   EUROPE £ 8.00  &  THE REST OF WORLD £ 12.00 

To help try and cover this cost, I have included an extra £3.60 into the price of the record and have deducted the same from the cost of the other postage options.

BUYERS COMBINING  SEVERAL "FREE" POST ITEMS MAY GET A REBATE.

 (Please wait for my invoice before paying so that I can give you the right discount because the eBaY system has no facility for doing this automatically)

BEST PACKAGING IN THE WORLD FOR DISPATCHING THEM!!

 THE GREG'S GREAT'S SYSTEM CONSISTS OF A SPECIALLY DESIGNED INNER BOX MADE OUT OF 1" THICK POLYSTYRENE, WHICH THEN GOES INSIDE A DOUBLE CORREGATED STIFF OUTER CARDBOARD CARTON. THE BOXES CAN TAKE UP TO 21 RECORDS,

 

USUALLY FOR MAILING OVERSEAS, I RECOMMEND NO MORE THAN 7 IN A BOX, OTHERWISE IT GOES OVER THE AIRMAIL SMALL PACKET MAXIMUM WEIGHT OF 2Kgs WHICH CAUSES A LARGE HIKE IN POSTAL RATES.

 

I SEND OUT ON AVERAGE ABOUT 30 PARCELS A WEEK AND DISPATCH IS NORMALLY DONE ONCE A WEEK - SO IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR RECORD WITHIN A WEEK IN THE UK, PLEASE DON'T BE TOO SURPRISED - YOU MAY HAVE JUST PAID FOR IT THE DAY AFTER I'VE DONE THE PARCEL RUN!! - ON THE OTHER HAND YOU MAY HAVE HIT IT LUCKY, AND GET THE PARCEL WITHIN A DAY OR TWO!! 

 

IF YOU REALLY HAVE AN URGENT REQUIREMENT FOR THE RECORD - BIRTHDAY PRESENT, WEDDING, FUNERAL etc PLEASE TELL ME - (BECAUSE I CAN'T READ MINDS!) I WILL DO MY BEST TO GET IT OUT FOR YOU URGENTLY.

 

IF A RECORD ARRIVES CRACKED OR BROKEN DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS WITH THIS FANTASTIC PACKAGING I WILL REFUND THE MONEY IN FULL. - JUST SEND ME A QUICK SCAN - IF IT IS A VERY RARE RECORD I MAY ASK YOU TO SEND IT BACK OTHERWISE IT WILL BE YOURS TO KEEP OR DISPOSE OF.

Pay instantly with your debit or credit card through PayPal.
Pay me securely with any major credit card through PayPal.

Return policy
All 78's are packed in my specially designed Polystyrene boxes packed within double thick walled mailing cartons. These are designed to be "Post Office Proof" - but in the INCREDIBLY rare event that a problem occurs please email me a quick pic of any damage and I will send a refund. PLEASE CLICK ON "ME" TO READ MORE DETAILS OF MY SERVICE.

I think returning broken 78's to me is a waste of money and resources!!
Refunds by law: In Australia, consumers have a legal right to obtain a refund from a business for goods purchased (but not at auction) if the goods are faulty, not fit for purpose or don't match description. More information at returns.
