ARTIST:   The Teen Kings - Roy Orbison

LABEL:    Je-Wel JE-101

TITLES:   Trying To Get You / Ooby Dooby

CONDITION:  E-

DESCRIPTION:

Very scarce 78 by The Teen Kings from early 1956 - Roy Orbison's first appearance on record.  The Teen Kings with Roy Orbison were a local West Texas band that had been active for several years before Sam Phillips heard their Je-Wel release and signed them to Sun.  Plays great, only light inaudible scuffing.

This copy has a blank yellow label on the "Oooby Dooby" side.  It was in the estate of someone who worked at a record store in the 1950s. and I suspect this copy was not saleable because of the blank label, so he might have taken it home.   Has anyone seen other copies with a blank label?  While "Ooby Dooby" is rockabilly, "Trying To Get (to) You" is in the more celebrated later ballad style of his timeless hits.
