Buchanan and Goodman On Trial was the second single by Bill Buchanan and Dickie Goodman, under the name Buchanan & Goodman, released on Luniverse Records.
Following the same formula of their hit The Flying Saucer, this break-in was based on the copyright infringement lawsuit against Buchanan & Goodman. The police arrest Buchanan & Goodman, and the boys are taken to court. The group is represented by their attorney, Little Richard. After hearing the testimonies, the Judge finds them not guilty.
Unfortunately, the single was much less successful, coming in the Billboard charts at #80 in 1956.
The songs sampled were:
The B-side of the 78 RPM disc was Crazy, a rock 'n' roll instrumental that, according to the label, could be played at 45 or 78 RPM. Playing it at the normal 78 speed makes it sound "crazy", playing it at 45 makes it sound normal. The 45 RPM pressing also shows the choice of playing "Crazy" at one of two speeds, either 45 or 33 1/3 RPM. In this case, the 45 RPM setting is the "crazy version" and the 33 1/3 setting is the "normal version". This track later appeared as a B-side to Ben Crazy (1962) and renamed "Flip Side"
Also, there were two different pressings of this record, the original had autographs by the artists etched into the run-out grooves. The second pressing does NOT have autographs and uses a sample from Jim Lowe's "Green Door" instead of the Fats Domino clip.
