The 'B' side of Maureen Evans 'Tommorow Is Another Day'.
I will be going into Epsom later today and will have another look around the Charity Shops for any records, i am not looking forward to tomorrow as I have an appointment at St. Helliers Eye Department in the afternoon, it is the last appointment about when I lost the sight in my right eye, the problem has like they said it would clear itself of its own accord.
Released March 1963, this record was amongst a small batch I brought in one of the Epsom Charity Shops recently, Usually the only Maureen Evens record that turns up is 'Like I Do' I was surprised when it was a different record, her Embassy records turn up a little more often, I have often thought what would happen if Maureen Evans had a big hit with one of her Oriole records, who would record it for Woolworths Embassy label, by the time this record was released Maureen Evans had not recorded an Embassy cover track since 1960/1, Maureen was one of the few artists who transitioned to CBS when CBS decided to cease the Oriole (and Embassy) labels in late 1964.
One of the people I sometimes meet at boot sales had a big collection of Embassy records he was only six short of the complete set and I had at least 3 0f the missing ones, he decided to sell his collection I would have brought it but by the time I met him he had already sold it, but he kept all the Maureen Evans records.
For some reason there is no scan of this side of the record on 45Cat, the typesetter has missed the apostrophe off at the end of Honeymoonin', all the other copies shown on 45cat have the apostrophe.
A trip into Epsom during the week and a visit to the Charity Shops all the Charity Shops had some 45's I came across this record, I had never come across Billie & Lillie before this record was the last of three releases in the UK, the first two were on the London Label and this one released July 1959 on the Top Rank label, part of a comment on 45Cat sums up many of the Top Rank releases 'but it's typical Top Rank, something no-one (i.e. other major labels) else wants.' though the same could be said for Oriole, Major Minor, Ember and some others.
I first came across Beverley Bunt on a cassette tape of Children's Favourites saying that they were often played by Uncle Mac on Children's Favourites, I do not recall ever hearing the tracks but at that age I would not be paying much attention to who the artist was, the record went onto my wants list, I noticed that this record was on other peoples wants list, after some time I got a notification that a copy had bee listed on a certain auction site it was a small record collection in a record folder there were a few Beatles and Cliff Richards singles and another EP also on my wants list Bernard Breslaw, I put a bid in there were no other bids. Three of the four tracks are on YouTube the missing track is 'Me And My Teddy Bear'.
Released in August 1959. When I first posted this record I got an email saying she was alive and well and was married.
The 'A' side of Harvey Smiths 1975 record, I came across a number of copies of this record for a couple of years then it disappeared from Boot Sales, I have not come across a copy of this record for some time.
At the last Boot Sale I got a copy of a record by Annette, latter on Bank Holiday Monday another Blog 'Sixties Beat' posted three LPs by Annette that included both the tracks on the single, then later another Blog 'I Am The Noise In Your Head' posted the Annette Single complete with picture sleeve, the next day I got an email from Bim Bam Records announcing the new releases amongst the CD's being released were 3 LPs by Annette being released on CD for the first time, the copy of the single I acquired had been sold in the USA for $20 at some point before reaching the UK
