    An EP in a beautiful sleeve featuring songs from the 1930 film
    released somewhat belatedly in 1957

    Since I discovered one of the rarest Ron Grainer related records
    a few years ago pre-releasing any of his soundtrack work)
    I seem compelled to seek out all his other records and this was
    one I'd not seen or heard of before.

    This oddity (still in it's beautiful purple sleeve) features brothers
    Tony & Keith sharing the one disc, there are versions on the
    same record with Keith taking credit for both sides but maybe
    that was because Tony was being kind as he was the more
    famous of the two as drummer in The Shadows, there might
    even be a signature on one of the labels too, though it's hard
    to tell which brother did it.

    the fantastic flip side (despite what label on video says)

    This guy only made a few singles including this demo from
    the mid 70's but he was still making music as recent as 2015.


    Another demo from the same box as the Meehan bros 7" was
    by the composer of the Hell's Angels '69 movie soundtrack.


    A mid 70's acetate by The YC's of Hendon North - who I assume
    are the Young Christians of that parish, I tried in vain to work out
    quite which Sir Ian they are singing their praises to but it's either
    ex BBC director general Sir Ian Trethowan or Gandalf,
    I'm more convinced it's the former unless anyone knows more download here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/rr…

    This Spanish band were so chuffed that someone bought
    their single they all kindly signed it on both sides.


    I was best pleased with this pair of thoroughly Scottish EP's
    featuring songs and spoken word, there are 6 in the set in seems, hoots!
