DE FREEDMAN & DE KNIGHT - ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK
Here's a funny one, a postcard, a picture of the clock tower in Bern with a flexi disc on it on it and it's still in perfect shape (I've got another postcard like this but that one is just too damaged to play)....
Great instrumental cover from Rock Around The Clock:
"Rock Around the Clock" is a rock and roll song in the 12-bar blues format written by Max C. Freedman and James E. Myers (the latter under the pseudonym "Jimmy De Knight") in 1952. The best-known and most successful rendition was recorded by Bill Haley & His Comets in 1954 for American Decca. It was a number one single on both the US and UK charts and also re-entered the UK Singles Chart in the 1960s and 1970s.
It was not the first rock and roll record, nor was it the first successful record of the genre (Bill Haley had American chart success with "Crazy Man, Crazy" in 1953, and in 1954, "Shake, Rattle and Roll" sung by Big Joe Turner reached No. 1 on the Billboard R&B chart). Haley's recording nevertheless became an anthem for rebellious Fifties youth[7] and is widely considered to be the song that, more than any other, brought rock and roll into mainstream culture around the world. The song is ranked No. 158 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Although first recorded by Italian-American band Sonny Dae and His Knights on March 20, 1954,[1] the more famous version by Bill Haley & His Comets is not, strictly speaking, a cover version. Myers claimed the song had been written specifically for Haley but, for various reasons, Haley was unable to record it himself until April 12, 1954.
The original full title of the song was "We're Gonna Rock Around the Clock Tonight!". This was later shortened to "(We're Gonna) Rock Around the Clock", though this form is generally only used on releases of the 1954 Bill Haley Decca Records recording; most other recordings of this song by Haley and others (including Sonny Dae) shorten this title further to "Rock Around the Clock".
I'm wondering who's playing this version, it's not Sonny Dae and His Knights:
And it's not Bill Haley's version either:
After a little search I found this:

Still doesn't tell me who is playing this version, only that this came out somewhere in the 50's....
Anyway, here's the track:

LARRY ROBBINS WITH HIS ORCHESTRA & CHORUS - DRUMS FOR FANS
Can't find a lot of info about this one, it's being sold on the internet (ebay, popsike and other places) and there they call it "very rare killer psych funk breaks" etc. ... Very funny record though, it says on the cover (in German) "would you like to know how a drummer hears the music from his band?" and that's basically what it is, the band in the background on volume 5 and the drums on volume.... 40....

He made a few albums that were a lot better than this one judging by this:

HERMAN KELLY & LIFE - PERCUSSION EXPLOSION
Herman Kelly & Life were a late-1970s Latin modern soul/funk group based in Miami, Florida. Their most notable track, "Dance to the Drummer's Beat", was originally released in 1978 on numerous American and European labels with various mixes and time-lengths. Due to a typographical error, the title of the song was mislabeled as "Dance To The Drummer Beat" on both the Audio Latino and Electric Cat releases. Additionally, the track has appeared on various compilation releases including the heavily sampled breakbeat album entitled Ultimate Breaks and Beats popular among deejays and hip-hop artists. It was also sampled by N.W.A., Run DMC and Whodini....
