Update for Issue 3: Bill Haley (again)
October 24th, 2006
In issue 3, I reviewed Rock ‘n’ Roll Arrives…, the Bear Family box-set of Bill Haley’s early recordings. One thing I discovered was that although Haley was a member of a band called the Down Homers, he left before they recorded. I was poking around the web looking for more info about the Down Homers and I ran across this site devoted to Vogue Records, a label the produced picture discs in the 1940s, including the Down Homers two 78s. They have a good page devoted to dispelling the urban legend that Haley appears on the records, along with images of practically every Vogue record ever produced.-MJS
