#Sg# Peppermint Circus // [A&M AM 016 / AMS 778] A - Let me go (Ben Findon / Peter Shelley) ... arranged and produced by Mike Batt B - School days (Ron Anderson) ... produced by Ben Findon & Peter Shelley This very rare promotional 45 RPM single from A&M Records was pressed in Lebanon and has a white label. For a period of about 8 years in the late 60's and the early 70's , records were being pressed in Lebanon under licence from the parent record companies. This stopped when the local civil war broke out in 1975 and was never resumed. Only very few copies of each record were pressed. So, if you find a record that is pressed in Lebanon, be sure that it is a very rare item. ... information about this rare Single from Toned-F, thank You! |

> #Sg# Essjay // Twins of evil (soundtrack) // arranged by Mike Batt, produced by Stephen James* / [Germany Hansa, 10 819] A - Twins of evil (Robinson*) ... instr. B - Fastback (James* / Mike Batt) ... instr. * Notes by Laineycrusoe ... Robinson = Harry Robinson / James = Stephen James; The a-side is a cover of the theme music from the 1971 Hammer film of the same title. The b-side is a funky track that sounds like early 1970s library music. Stephen James is the son of music publisher Dick James and also ran the DJM label. I'm not sure who 'Essjay' is, but Stephen James' initials are pronounced the same way as the artist's name so I assume Essjay was a studio project of his. According to the label it was actually Stephen James who produced the single, with Mike Batt arranging it. - Many thanks to Laineycrusoe! ... information from chrisspedding.com, thank You! |
