Original Record of the Year: Poni-Tails - Born Too Late
My original pick celebrated the fact girl groups were actually quite good once upon a time. They used to harmonise with their vocals as opposed to being a marketing campaign like they are these days.
I can't remember how I first came across this record and made no note at the time of how I did. My knowledge of 50s records isn't great but it's been helped in recent times by Retro Charts Radio. It was listening to this which introduced me to a record that's made me change my mind.
New Record Of The Year: Buddy Holly - Early In The Morning
I thought I was pretty clued up on Buddy Holly records. He's a big name known for several records but this was one I didn't know of his.
It was his follow up to "Rave On" and you could say that sequence is describing the future of raving on until early in the morning. It's also quite speedy for a 50s record which helps.
