Artist: Vern Edwards / Vern Edwards with The Charmettes Title: Glenda / Cool, Baby, Cool Label: Probe Catalog number: PR-100 (PR-100-A / PR-100-B) Format: Vinyl, 7", 45 RPM, Single Year: 1959 Country: USA Edition: Original First Pressing Genre: Rock & Roll / Rockabilly / Doo-Wop 💿 DESCRIPTION Vern Edwards is a highly collectible, obscure artist from the golden era of late-1950s American roots music. This rare 7" single beautifully showcases two distinct stylistic sides of the era. The A-side, "Glenda," is a melodic, mid-tempo teenage stroll featuring the classic backing harmonies of The Charmettes. The B-side, "Cool, Baby, Cool," is a solo performance by Edwards, delivering a high-energy, driving rockabilly/rock & roll rhythm. Released on the highly obscure independent Probe label, this record remains a fantastic and scarce artifact of regional 1950s American music history. 💎 CONDITION vinyl: near mint minus (nm-) sleeve: generic 🧾 NOTES FOR COLLECTORS This is an exceptionally rare, authentic 1959 original US first pressing on the independent Probe label. Carrying the catalog number PR-100, this release stands as one of the earliest—if not the definitive first—records put out by this short-lived imprint. Unlike many low-budget indie pressings of the late '50s, this record was manufactured utilizing RCA Victor's premium custom pressing services, guaranteeing excellent sound fidelity and heavy vinyl composition. It is highly sought after by both deep rockabilly enthusiasts and vocal-group/doo-wop collectors, and it rarely surfaces on the market in clean, playable condition. 🔍 MATRIX / LABEL DETAILS Matrix Side A (Runout): K8OW-8738-1 I (Stamped) Matrix Side B (Runout): K8OW-8739 I (Stamped) Pressing Plant Identifier: The stamped capital "I" in the runout groove identifies this record as a product of the premier RCA Records Pressing Plant in Indianapolis, Indiana.
