Booka Hyland 7 " = Early Oz Rock/Pop = " Sweet Thing / I Dig Girls " ~ Lee Gordon LS-594 ( plays very clean & sounds great!!)..Grading 8/10 and sure to delight the new owner. BOOKA HYLAND Transistor (Irwin Schuster - Dick Wolf) Australia 1960 Single on Leedon, Booka Hyland's third and final, "with orchestra and chorus directed by Eddie Cash Jr", an alias of Hyland's mentor Johnny O'Keefe who produced the record. Booka Hyland (b. John, c.1940) was an established pub singer when he was heard by Warren Williams and his band who urged him to contact Johnny O'Keefe. He ended up as a regular on O'Keefe's TV show Six O'Clock Rock and joined O'Keefe on tour. Hyland released a handful of singles, only one of which charted, the John Marascalco-Scott Turnbull song Sweet Thing (1960, #33 Sydney). His second single, We've Got Something Going (1960) was another John Marascalco composition. He also released a four-track EP, Booka At The Police Boys Club, featuring the three A-sides plus a B-side. See also I Dig Girls, the B-side of Sweet Thing. At this time O'Keefe was an active A&R man and producer for the Lee Gordon and Leedon labels. He often used the name Eddie Cash Jr because, as he put it, I think the disc jockeys got a bit sick and tired of hearing my name all the time [quoted in The Wild One, see below]. The "Eddie Cash" vocalists and musicians covered a studio roster that included many well-known Sydney performers. "Booka" was a childhood nickname. Until his first record showed his surname, Johnny O'Keefe had billed him simply as Booka. Can post 2 ( maybe 3) 7" records to anywhere overseas for $ 9 AUD and that can be from either this mazdamusic site or from flatblacks11 On 27-Nov-15 at 15:02:28 AEDST, seller added the following information: There has been plenty of interest with this one and just test played. Vinyl looks like new & plays likewise.
