An unreleased home-recording recording of a rare and off¬stage behind the scenes glimpse, of the early Rock n’ Roll era featuring Roy Orbison and Faron Young.

In the fall of 1956, these two musicians visited the home of Judy Baker in Corpus Christi, Texas for some partying and socializing.

Someone brought a guitar and requested an impromptu performance. Judy captured the evening on her portable tape recorder.

This has become known as the ‘Party of 56’ and photographs are included in the enclosed 20 page CD booklet.

The recording shows a testament to the pervasive influence of Elvis Presley on the music and performers of the day.

Read this incredible story of that day: The Party Of '56.

Written by David Banner (2002.)


1956 Party TAPE . It was the Fall of 1956. The 20-year-old Roy Orbison was touring with his band, The Teen Kings, still enjoying the popularity of their hit Ooby Dooby released by Sun Records. The song peaked at number 59 on the Billboard Pop Chart and re-entered a couple of times. They were being booked by Stars Inc. in Memphis, sharing the stage with some other Sun Records acts like Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and some Country singers also. Some of them where Johnny Horton, Sonny James and Faron Young. Faron was a Capitol Records artist and had just had his first No. 1 Country hit with Joe Allison's Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young sometime back.

It is not clear exactly when this recording was made, possibly around or after September 1956 after Hound Dog was released, but it would be wise to assume that it took place after a show with Roy and Faron. Some sources indicate that the location was Corpus Christy, Texas. For sure we know that it was made by Judy Baker into a home tape recorder using a hand microphone. Judy became a Country Music hostess but little we know about her. She was born in 1924 and died in February 2000, now buried in Goodlettsville, Davidson County Tennessee, USA. The tape stayed in her position through the years and surfaced after her passing. A few pictures were taken that night while the guitar was passed around to the hands of Roy and Faron. Elvis was Roy's favorite singer, and vice versa. Roy had seen a few of Elvis shows in Texas, and they met at the Overton Park Shell in Memphis in June, 1956. Both Roy and Faron sing mainly Elvis songs, Roy also does a few Little Richard tunes and one of his first recordings Hey Miss Fanny, a hit by The Clovers a few years back.


The importance of this recording is enormous. To Roy Orbison fans, this reveals an early Orbison, casual and relaxed singing songs they have never heard him sing before, and we know how a fan feels like when something like this comes across. For Elvis's fans this means the discovery of new versions sung by Elvis's favorite singer. Either way, an early piece of history not to be missed.

Sieht nach Abzocker-Müll aus.

Für einen Orbison od. Faron Young Fan sicher nicht.Es sind halt so art Home-Recordings.

Da bin ich aber schon gespannt darauf; es stammt ja auch von MSR, und diejenigen dahinter, haben gute Produkte veröffentlicht, bisher.

Mal abwarten, was das Produkt dann endgültig sein soll.

rein optisch schaut's nach budget-klumpert aus, aber wenn (wirklich) MRS dahintersteckt, dann sollte es doch was g'scheites sein ...

..mal abwarten !!
