We just heard the five budget-label copycat versions of Rock Around the Clock (if anyone knows of a sixth, please let us know). So, how to follow such a knockout post? With more fake Haley hits, of course. And here are some label scans to go with this post and the previous.
It's been a while since I last had any of these up, so... here there are again. We'll be hearing from the usual budget-label suspects--Tops, Prom, 18 Top Hits (Waldorf), Parade--and the much lesser known TunePac (Crazy Man, Crazy).
You'll dig these crazy sounds--they're wowsville. It's rock and roll, Daddy-o, and it's the latest and the gonest hep cat jive. You'll rock. You'll roll. You'll "and." (Or is it 'n'?) Artie Malvin and the Deerhill Dudes await.

Hmm, that last comment may have been eaten.
As I was saying, I have a weakness for these, and have posted a few on my blog. Unfortunately, I'm a lazy blogger and didn't tag them well enough to locate them on short notice.
Here's one, however, from Waldorf:

Ah, here's another:

One last one before I stop the blog-pinmping:

Link-pimping (er, sharing) is fine! I've done it myself....
I'm bad about tagging things, too, but since many of my older links are kaput, maybe that's for the best.
