Promenade records- A "Sound-Alike" Recording Of "I Shot Mr. Lee"

The song "Mr. Lee" was a major hit, peaking at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the R&B charts for 4 weeks. Later, after the Bobbettes failed to produce a hit after "Mr. Lee," they wrote the song (which is very similar) "I Shot Mr. Lee," which was then recorded and reached #56 on the charts. The real mystery is this record label only covered top-40 hits, which is odd considering that this song only peaked at #56, making this only a minor hit. The most likely theory is sometimes these labels covered songs beginning to show up on the charts that the label thought would become major top-40 hits by the time the record it was slated to appear on was pressed and distributed. 

My Newcomb EDT-30 M 4-Speed Portable

Last Saturday, I found this record player at one of my local thrift stores! However, the speaker cut out a day after I got it, so I put on the headphones to see if the amp still worked. Otherwise, the turntable is in perfect order, but the speaker stops working!

Update: 8-6-11 I just had it looked at; however, the speaker needs to be replaced; on the flip side, I have found a cord that allows me to plug it straight into my stereo system!

Update 2021: I had to get rid of this record player in late fall 2014, I miss this record player, but I have since obtained a similar Califone with a variable speed adjustment feature.
