Weldon Rogers: So Long, Good Luck And Goodbye (7inch, EP, 45rpm, PS, Ltd.)

1-EP in picture sleeve, 7inch, 3 tracks, 45rpm, large centre hole, Limited Edition (500)

  • For the first time ever on vinyl - the originally intended flip side Trying To Get To You of Weldon Rogers’ Rockabilly banger So Long, Good Luck And Goodbye.
  • Due to no longer comprehensible circumstances Roy Orbison’s version of Trying To Get To You was waxed as the B-side of Weldon Rogers’ So Long, Good Luck AndGoodbye, and not Weldon’s own recording of that tune.
  • The backing band on both of Weldon’s masters, So Long, Good Luck And Goodbyeand Trying To Get To You, are Roy Orbison’s Teen Kings.
  • In all probabilities Roy Orbison - still a member of The Teen Kings in early 1957 - can be assumed to sing in the background choir of So Long, Good Luck And Goodbye. 

Bear Family’s Weldon Rogers EP features Weldon’s own version of Trying To Get To You - on vinyl for the very first time! Weldon Rogers, known for his rockabilly banger So Long, Good Luck And Goodbye which is also included on this EP, originally had his own version of Trying To Get To You intended to be on the B-side of his Imperial single. Why The Teen Kings' version was pressed on the record instead can no longer be determined today. Was it Weldon's decision, or that of his label, Imperial? Or did the pressing plant make a mistake? We will never know. In any case, Roy Orbison's version appeared on the B-side, recorded in Norman Petty's studio about a year prior to Weldon’s session with his band, The Teen Kings.

The Teen Kings are also the backing band on Weldon Rogers' Imperial record, and it sounds as if Roy Orbison can be heard in the background vocals. The Teen Kings had onlysplit from Roy Orbison towards the end of 1957, and it might be possible that Roy Orbisonwas on the spot during the Weldon Rogers session and was part of the backing chorus. Ofcourse, we cannot confirm this one hundred percent, but it seems very likely. We leave the final choice up to you and look forward to your comments and assessments on this.

The bonus track on this 45RPM EP is Weldon’s duet rocker with Wanda Wolfe, recorded at KOB TV Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and released on the ’Jewel‘ label in 1959

"Weldon Rogers"

WELDON ROGERS, der zum Teil irische Teil Cherokee, der Sohn eines Staubschalenbauern, wurde am 30. Oktober 1927 in Marietta, Oklahoma, geboren. Seine Familie zog nach Lamesa, Texas, als er ungefähr acht Jahre alt war. Sie bauten Baumwolle und Mais an und beteten in der kleinen Baptistengemeinde an, wo Rogers, der am lautesten sang, als Psalmführer ausgewählt wurde.

Rogers hat sein langes Arbeitsleben zwischen Jobs als DJ, dem Spielen in einer Band an Wochenenden und dem Schneiden von Platten an der Seite aufgeteilt. Er begann 1954 bei KSML in Seminole, Texas (zu seinen Favoriten zählten Ernest Tubb und Leon Payne) und schnitt seine Debüt-CD für Queen Records, ein Label von Wink Lewis aus San Antonio (obwohl Hoyle Nix' Platten die Liste dominierten).

1955 finanzierte der lokale Ölmann Chester Oliver Je-Wel Records, benannt nach Weldon und Olivers Tochter Jeanne, die in Rogers' Band Akkordeon spielte. Sie besetzten einen Platz auf Midlands KMID-TV am Samstagnachmittag kurz vor den Teen Kings, einer weiteren lokalen Band, deren Anführer Roy Orbison das Odessa Junior College besuchte.

Es war Chester Olivers Idee, Orbison aufzunehmen, der seine erste Platte, Ooby Dooby and Trying To Get To You (Je-Wel 101), in Norman Petty's Studio in Clovis, New Mexico, aufgenommen hat. Andere Aufzeichnungen auf Weldons eigenem Jewel-Label zeigten Rogers und Wanda Wolfe - Everybody Wants You is a rare but rockin' duet - und Weldon und Wanda Rogers; Weldon heiratete Wanda, nachdem sie von Bob Wolfe, einem Sänger aus Roswell, geschieden wurde.


Laut Rogers wurde er Lew Chudd bei einem Besuch in Los Angeles vorgestellt. "Ich habe einen Vertrag unterschrieben", erinnert er sich. "Ich ging nach Wink, Texas und holte Roy Orbisons Band, die er bei'Ooby Dooby' benutzt hatte. Ich besuchte auch meine Schwester, die in Andrews, Texas lebte. Als ich ging, hatte ich drei Songs geschrieben und auf dem Weg zur Session mit Roys Band im Auto sagte ich: "Nun, wenn ich nicht vier Songs aufnehmen kann, um sie zu Lew Chudd zurückzubringen, wird es so lange dauern, viel Glück, auf Wiedersehen! Und James Morrow sagte: "Hey, das ist ein guter Songtitel. Ich fuhr den Rest des Weges zu Clovis mit einer Hand und schrieb den Song mit der anderen. Schließlich war es das Beste von allen!"
