DEMO DERBY (1963)
  In 1963, Pike Productions released it's first theatrical motion picture, a 28 minute action featurette called “Demo Derby,” based on a story idea and title song by Travis.  Ironically, Travis was stationed in Germany at the time, so the first song he wrote to be used in a film was arranged by Arthur Korb and performed by the Rondels! 
  “Demo Derby” opened in Boston on June 24th, 1963 with “Robin and the Seven Hoods” and later co-featured all across the nation with the Beatles' “A Hard Day's Night.”  Ultimately, “Demo Derby” ran in more than 6000 theaters and around Charlotte, North Carolina, it was shown in 250 packed motion picture houses and drive-ins!

COMING SOON ON DVD!

For those of you who never saw one, this is what a phonograph record looked like.  This is a “45,” so-called for the number of revolutions per minute (RPM) it had to make to reproduce the sound exactly as it had been recorded (assuming the record wasn't warped).  This was also called a single, with only one song per side, versus an album, which would have a tiny hole in the middle, run at 33 1/3 RPM, have way more songs per side and be great big!
