User:RbrtG9/Buchanan And Goodman On Trial

Buchanan and Goodman On Trial was the second single released by the novelty duo Buchanan & Goodman.

Following the same formula of their hit The Flying Saucer, this break-in was based on the copyright infringement lawsuit against Buchanan & Goodman. Unfortunately, the single was much less successful, coming in the Billboard charts at #80 in 1956.

Release[edit]

The b-side of the 78 pressing was Crazy, a rock 'n' roll instrumental that could be played at 45 or 78 RPM. It was even stated on the label. Playing it at the normal 78 speed makes it sound "crazy", playing it at 45 makes it sound normal. The 45 pressing, although it only lists being playable at 45, could be played at 33 1/3 RPM or 45 RPM. The higher setting would make it sound, in a word, crazy. This would later appear as a b-side to Ben Crazy (1962).

Also, there were two different pressings of this record, the original had autographs by the artists etched into the run-out grooves. The second pressing does NOT have autographs and uses a clip from Jim Lowe's "Green Door" instead of the Fats Domino clip.
