The Womenfolk - Turnaround

 


This 1964 record was a UK only release, the song had some exposure as it was used in an advert for Kodak cameras and film, this record failed to chart, the Womenfolk would have their only US chart entry with another Malvina Reynolds song Little Boxes, for some reason Little Boxes was not issued as a single in the UK.

She Trinity - He Fought The Law


The fist release from She Trinity of six singles, this was one of the early all girl band that played their own instruments, none of their records made the charts. Later Pauline Moran who was the bass player became an actor and played the role of Miss Lemon in the early episodes  of Poirot.

Abandoned Car


On a visit to Epsom yesterday I went into the Ebbisham Car Park the abandoned Volkswagen was still there I made a note of the registration number and put it into the payment terminal, the car registration number did not appear on the list of cars in the Car Park, it costs about £139 for a weeks parking, the notice that the car has been abandoned was issued early in September, it has clocked up £1,000 of fees since then!

The Cherryhill Trio - Fluff ( The Velvet Dragon)

 


I first came across this 1963 record on one of the Late Mark Bird's - Whacky Classics You May Have Missed CD's, these CD's are long out of production, originally there were going to be 5 CD's in the series however it grew to 20 CD's there may be 21 as one was ready for issue about the time he passed away, the series was going to be expanded to 25 CD's, the Cherryhill Trio issued a second single under the name The Hollyhill Singers, this record did not have a UK release.

Abandoned Car Epsom






A visit to the Ebbisham car park in Epsom yesterday, while searching for a vacant bay, I came across this modified Beetle, it looks like some parts have been liberated, but looks largely intact, the engine is still in place, I was tempted to put the registration into the self pay machine to see how much the parking charge would be. I hate this car park and was only using it as Madam had to go to her bank and this is the nearest car park to her bank, she now has difficulty walking any distance. I am in Epsom again on Monday as I have an eye test (my sight has suddenly deteriorated), if  the car is still there I may see how big a parking charge it has racked up. A few years ago in the Brighton Marina car park, maximum stay 4 hours, there was a car parked there of over two years.

Cowboy Church Sunday School - It Is No Secret


The first of the Cowboy Church Sunday School records, my copy came from the now defunct Leg Of Mutton Boot Sale at Cobham, I remember the queue of cars going right back onto the A3 and causing delays, there were 2 copies of this record there, it was a long time before I found another   Cowboy Church Sunday School record.

  Sorry this track is not on YouTube

At the original release date for these records Decca who produced the Brunswick label records has a tri-centre, so far on 45Cat only the original release has turned up with a tri-centre, the records were available for quite a time and have a number of different pressings.
