It might be hard to find these in the USA, but check out Jet Harris - Besame Mucho, and Jet Harris and Tony Meehan - Diamonds, and Scarlett O'Hara. Also, Tony Meehan - The Man with the Golden Arm. Harris and Meehan were the original bass/drums for The Shadows before leaving around '62. Diamonds was a UK no1 in 1963, but Harris was in a car accident after Scarlett, which effectively ended his frontline career. I don't know the player on 'Arm'. 'Mucho' is a bass, the others I think are baritone?
