Rare Cameo Parkway Records flyer
Here is a very nice piece of history kindly sent to me by our U.S. correspondent Kevin Walsh. In the 1960’s Clint enjoyed a brief career as a recording artist due mainly to his success from the TV series Rawhide.
One of his single releases was Rowdy / Cowboy Wedding Song. This flyer is a nice piece as it also headlines the release date of the single and its catalogue number – the release date being February 19th, 1963. As a point of interest, the record was only released in the U.S. with a generic studio sleeve, whilst here in the UK; it was treated to a nice picture sleeve (below). This flyer must also originate from the UK, as it clearly illustrates that Rowdy is the leading A side. Still to this day, (and probably due to that picture sleeve), most people still believe that Rowdy was the A-side. Yet, on the U.S. version of the 45, it was in fact Cowboy Wedding Song which was the A side and Rowdy was instead used as the B-side of the single.
More of Clint’s history as a recording artist can be found here in an original piece I wrote for the Archive back in July, 2017.
