Bill Hayes
Wringle Wrangle / Westward Ho The Wagons
London : 45-HL 8430 (45s)
Another odd-ball London release from 1957 that unexpectedly never got off the ground, even though it was issued at a highpoint in Cowboy/Western TV programs in the UK and Bill Hayes's also riding a crest of a wave with his million seller "Davy Crockett", Cowboy Westerns were dominating British TV time. Now 63 years later HL 8430 is one very elusive number in the series, causing an annoying void in most dedicated British London collector's runs.
A US ABC-Paramount label the initial flipside ‘Wringle Wrangle’ is a yee-ha rollickin’ western tune from the 1956 film 'Westward Ho The Wagons', a Walt Disney production starring Fess Parker. The soundtrack a-side title is the title song from a movie that initially received scathing reviews for being "feeble-minded movie for family viewing" the theme tune losing its intended effect with the opening credit and stunning scenery of the movie visual missing .
It is more tan a coincidence that Fess Parker played the part of Davy Crockett in Disney’s smash hit movie and recording 'Davy Crockett', the theme tune of which gave Bill Hayes a million seller in 1956 released on London HLA 8220.
Very rare and for London label dedicates, totally essential
