|
This is quite an easy record to find on 45rpm. At any one moment, Ebay seems to have a dozen or so of the Trey release, ranging from $ 5.00 upwards. The single was also released in Australia so you can sometimes find it on Atlantic, who distributed Trey in the USA. By a weird coincidence, there were two labels called Trey, and both founded in 1959. The first was owned by Eddie Schuller's Goldband Records label, in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The other, (which released the single), was owned by Lester Sill and Lee Hazelwood, with money put up by Atlantic Records. They also had the free use of an office in the Era Records/Dore Records building at 1481 Vine Street, Hollywood, which was the family-owned label that had released The Teddy Bears. Although Trey released singles from 1959 to 1961, mostly recorded at Ramsey's Audio Recorders in Phoenix where of course Duane Eddy recorded, they closed down when Lester Sill and Phil Spector went into business together as Philles Records. There is an October 1960 advertisement for the single "The Great Debate" on my own website. I attach the link below. |
