With the open air car boots winding up for winter, though there
is a local one determined to carry on until the end of November,
I have had all sorts of records turn up near the turnips (possibly)
including these flexi-discs I found out in the fields, no really.
Chris Gunning has been involved in hundred of musical
projects since the 60's from film scores (Man About The House)
to working with artists as diverse as The Gods, The Hollies and
Cilla Black, however on this he threw his skills into an egg advertising campaign.
This is sadly not the hostess of 60's TV show Ready Steady Go
talking about ghosts and spirits but hair colour, damn.
Typically tasteless one-sided flexi from JK and it was all an act
on the sleeve as he actually preferred schoolboys.
One white promo flexi for a German textile company oh yes,
but there were apparently 2 discs in this original release, oh no!
This pretty gold disc came free with Isle of Man Colour Holiday
Book and features excerpts from the LP The Wonderful World
of Man which I still have somewhere...
The great voice of 70's kids TV show Animal Magic
plugs the long defunct holiday firm.
Brian Matthew has an enviable discography for voicing flexis
on Discogs but not this one, so it must be worth a lot then!
Another giant of the free flexi-disc voice over, Jack usually
worked for Readers Digest but here he adds his dulcet tones
to help sell Websters Universal Colour Dictionary.
A disc from the late 60's promoting the famous beer,
which is still getting folk pissed and singing since 1829 bless 'em.
Released in the early 80's to promote one of their finest
albums this features four excerpts including the lovely title track.
