{"title":"Joe Bennett and the Sparkletones","description":"\u003cp\u003eJoe Bennett and the Sparkletones were a prominent rockabilly group in the mid-1950s. The band, from Spartanburg, South Carolina, consisted of Joe Bennett (lead guitar), Howard Childress (rhythm guitar), Wayne Arthur (bass), and Jimmy Denton (drums), all aged between thirteen and sixteen at their height. Known for their lively, guitar-driven sound, they gained national recognition with their hit \"Black Slacks,\" which peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Pop chart in 1957. Despite their brief career, their youthful energy and distinctive style left a significant mark on the rockabilly genre.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"little-turtle-weve-had-it","title":"Little Turtle\/ We've Had It","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere's a great promo copy of this rarely seen\/heard track, which is a terrific Rockabilly rave-up. The flip is another fine uptempo number.  Note: This copy comes in a vintage ABC-Paramount Records factory sleeve. The labels have very light ringwear (doesn't really show up in the scan). The vinyl has very light surface noise, but it's mostly inaudible. Overall I find the strong, clean audio near-mint. The vinyl grade (EX) reflects a strange appearance to the vinyl that fortunately doesn't affect the audio; the vinyl is somewhat scuffed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joe Bennett and the Sparkletones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48515942088937,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/8508\/9001\/files\/joebennettsparkletones2.jpg?v=1752209645"},{"product_id":"boys-do-cry-what-the-heck","title":"Boys Do Cry\/ What The Heck","description":"Here's a beautiful copy of this rarely seen 1959 single on the Paris label.
