    From Bruce@21:1/5 to All on Tue May 14 13:58:59 2024
    This record is only a 5 for me, but my friend just put it on EBay yesterday and the high bid is already over $800. Looks like it will go for 4 figures.

    I remember getting this in an auction (maybe Breathless Dan's?) back in the late 60's for 10 shillings if I remember rightly. Maybe someone here remembers what the UK pound/US dollar exchange rate was back then?

    No longer have the record but it's still on my 1958 list today as a 7

    According to https://fx.sauder.ubc.ca/etc/GBPpages.pdf, 1 pound = $2.40 1968-1970 (although it
    certainly fluctuated during that period of time). I hadn't thought of it before looking it up, but
    this is the one exchange rate that I do remember.

    Thanks Rick

    So on those figures I paid the equivalent of $1.20 for that record. A bargain in anyone's language given its current valuation :)

    Was he related to Narvel Felts? It's an unusual name.

    There's also this guy:

    Dereell Felts was originally from East Texas whereas Narvel Felts was from Alabama

    There's also this guy:

    Just guessing here but his label location suggests that he was probably a West Coast guy,no?

    When I first moved to Texas in the mid-seventies, Derrell had his own
    TV show on every Saturday afternoon. He had a country band then with a
    guy named Cliff that used to sing harmony with him.

    Yes,there was an LP issued too in 1974 - "Favorites From The Derrell Felts Television Show" on MSA label

    The LP cover and song lineup can be seen here

    During this conversation about Derrell Felts on here I'm surprised that nobody has so far mentioned his second record---released after his initial "Playmates" on Dixie label in 1958.

    It was a year later--on May 24 1959 to be precise---that Derrell arrived at Norman Petty's studio in Clovis NM to cut what would be his second 45rpm release. The songs were "It's A Great Big Day" and "Lookie Lookie Lookie" both instantly forgettable
    ditties---were it not for the circumstances surrounding them.

    For starters to back Derrell on the session Norman enlisted the help of wife Vi Petty who plays piano on the session. Other instrumentation and vocal backing was by the then-current lineup of The Crickets.

    Rather than release the resulting single on his own Nor-Va-Jak imprint Norman got a deal with Columbia to handle the Felts record----which ended up appearing on their subsidiary Okeh label in June 1959 but with Norman still retaining publishing rights

    I stand to be corrected but it looks like Felts didn't record again after this until the 1970's
