This is the eleventh show of 13 recorded for export to the United States. It is now thought that this original telerecording, once catalogued with ABC at Teddington, Middlesex until 1968, may be in the private hands of someone in the United Kingdom.
Also some of the 13 copies sent to America are known to exist and in the possession of a private collector in Arizona or New Mexico.
American star Conway Twitty makes his second and final appearance on “Oh Boy!". He had flown especially to Britain to make his debut appearance on last week’s show (16th May) when he sung his smash hit “It’s Only Make Believe.” This week he promoted his new single release “Hey Susie” backed by the resident “Oh Boy!” band.
Stalwart Marty Wilde, one of Jack’s favourite artistes, makes his 15th of 17 appearances in the series. Marty went on to host and star in Jack’s forthcoming ABC pop series “Boy Meets Girl” in September 1959.
Newcomer Mike Jackson makes his only appearance in the series.
Pierce Rodgers makes his fourth and final showing.
