Kathleen Harrison - Mrs Thursday / Call Round Any Old Tme (1966)

I had a visit to Epsom during the week and for a change I visited the Charity shops I brought about 20+ records.

Here are a few of the records.

I have no idea about this record, I suspect it is a German release, with dance instructions included.

Peter Cook & Dudley Moore a 1965 EP, this was at the back of the box.

Kenneth McKeller a 1966 release, songs for the Eurovision Song Contest. The UK finished 9th with the song, A Man Without Love.

Nat King Cole singing in Spanish no release date on this record.

Unusal for this Armrican record it has the year of release on the label, this record was not part of the recent purchases, it was part of a batch of about 100 I got last year, Iam picking up another batch early in Feburary.

Musketeer Gripweed & The Third Troop - How I Won The War

 

I was outbid on this 1967 release more than once, I then discovered the track is on a LP, as luck would have it, I found a copy of the LP on eBay listed at £1, I put my bid in and much to my surprise I won the LP at my initial bid, the LP has been re-issued as a CD however this track is missing from the CD as they did not have the rights to use it.

In the film John Lennon plays the character of Musketeer Gripweed, he does not appear on the record, the record was possibly released to cash in on John Lennon's fame.

Caroline Binkley - I Want A Baby Brother For Christmas

 

Wishing every one a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Caroline Binkley - I Want A Baby Brother For Christmas

Released 1965 only in the USA,  this was re-released as the 'B' side of 'Mr Pilot' a promotional only record in 1966. 

This record according to the cover notes was the Christmas record of 1965 challenging Denise Regan - Hole In My Socking for the accolade, in the event of things this record is the more common of the two.

1965 Carolyn Binkley - I Want A Baby Brother For Christmas

Caroline Binkley - All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth

Released 1965 the 'B' side of the first of 3 released for Caroline Binkley, though the 3rd release was a DJ only record. I have to confess that I have all 3 of Caroline Binkley's records.

Denise Regan - Hole In The Stocking

 

Denise Regan - Hole In The Stocking 

Released 1965, I like the line in the sleeve notes 'And her Hole In The Stocking' will become a Christmas standard for years to come. This record only turns up as Promotional Copies, was it ever released to the public, it's not going to be a Christmas Standard if nobody can buy the record.

The track has not been posted on You Tube, and remains a Christmas Obscurity.
