Shake, Rattle and Roll/ A.B.C. Boogie

Here's a beautiful original pressing of Haley's first big hit. Haley's version contains many changes to the lyrics to make them "less offensive" to "white ears". This kind of censorship was common among white acts covering black artists and songs in the 1950s. This is a second pressing with the silver star under the Decca logo. Note: This copy comes in a vintage Decca Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels and Near Mint vinyl and audio.
