Rock the Joint/Farewell-So Long-Goodbye

Arguably the very first rockabilly single, this was originally released in 1952 on Essex 303. This is the rerelease in 1955 as Essex tried to capitalize on the 'Rock Around the Clock' success. In any case, here is the original Bill Haley sound as it was first heard in 1952, with a cover of Jimmy Preston's top 10 RnB hit from 1949. The self-penned flip is also a rockabilly gem. The audio on this is VG, but I've marked it down slightly because of the water damage to the label (see scan).
