You'll Be Sorry
Fransil Records was founded by Silvio Scerbo and Bob Scale in Philadelphia in 1959. The label issued only a handful of singles in 1959 and 1960.

Scale played lead guitar on two early Bill Haley songs, namely "Green Tree Boogie" and "Down Deep In My Heart" for Holiday Records.
Group from Upper Darby,Pennsylvania. Clockwise from top are, Bill Newmiller,Bob Hummell, Edward "Farrell" Finn Jr. and Fred Baker.

Sounds like something is wrong with your audio input.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with audio input, but record was in bad shape...
ReplyDeleteIt's not an easy 45 to find (only 500 made, how many still exist 50 years later), and it was mastered VERY low on recycled vinyl....noise city....from the very beginning even in good condition!
