Bennie Martin (& Group) – Darling Goodbye/ This Is Why I Love You, ’60 (Astro 109)
- No scans found for Astro/Astra #109.
- Book dated 1960 and listed artist as ‘Benny Martin’ on Astro.
As/ (45cat.com), Owl 331 is a bootleg of Astra 109 (Darling Goodbye/This Is Why (I Love You) by Bennie Martin.
-
- Both Owl 331 and Astro/Astra 109 are the same songs.
- The Texas Astro label credits the Coastliners on #109 (1965).
- The book’s listing on Astro 109 is likely an error.
With noted credit to **Bennie Martin, the sides also appear on the Cliff Noble LP ‘Moonshot 601’ in 1968.
So does anyone actually own this disc or has actually seen one? I’m wondering if it’s in fact just a myth or old clerical error or something. That this 45 never existed. However on PJ Noce’s YouTube channel, he has a video of a 45 playing that has the track Darling Goodbye, however the disc in the video has no label. I would love to know more about this if anyone has anything to add…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0aMmwr6C0Q plays the complete songs. There are comments from various people, all seeking more info on the label scan. To date (03/ 07/ 2021) my searches are also unproductive, with nothing new to add to my posts. I also have a post for the reissues by the Continentals (bootleg Owl label).
