<B>Waylon Jennings "Jole Blon"/ "When Sin Stops" 45 Brunswick 55130 (1959).</B></I> As a young Lubbock DJ, Waylon Jennings befriended an up-and-coming Buddy Holly, who repaid the favor by producing Waylon's first record, which turned out to be the only single he released on the Crickets' label, Brunswick. Later, Waylon joined Buddy's backing band as a bassist on the fateful "Winter Dance Party" tour in 1959 that ended in tragedy. Waylon had given up his plane seat to the Big Bopper before the fateful crash that took the lives of Holly, the Bopper, and Ritchie Valens. Waylon wouldn't begin to have success on the C&W charts until 1965, so this early record is a prize. The copy has three minor pops at the end of Side 1, which finds Waylon singing in French. Condition: VG-EX 6.<I>From Maria Elena Holly's personal collection.</B></I>
