AN EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS DOO-WOP CLASSIC 78 FROM THE SILHOUETTES
The Silhouettes - Get A Job
Get A Job is one of the most popular and enduring songs of the rock'n'roll era, still known and loved around the world more than fifty years after its release. The lyrics to Get A Job address the themes of unemployment and domestic relationships, with the woman of the house nagging the man to find work, implying that he is both lazy and dishonest. But the song is also light-hearted, exuberant, and very danceable, with infectious vocal hooks, handclaps, a rocking saxophone solo and a general sense of fun. "When I was in the service in the early 1950s and didn't come home and go to work my mother said "Get A Job" and basically that's where the song came from", said Rick Lewis, who wrote it before The Silhouettes were formed.

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) 10" 78 RPM RECORDS NEED CAREFULLY PACKING, AND I CLAIM TO HAVE THE BEST PACKAGING IN THE WORLD FOR DISPATCHING THEM!!
