I don't think they realise just how much work went into the making of these albums, and then be able to sell them at a price anyone could afford - quite an achievement. Like I mentioned the other day about having a 1974 Parade Of Pops album with a Morrisons price label of just 49p. Even by 1974 standards, that was an absolute bargain, even more so considering the work involved in putting the albums together. :-)bro19https://www.blogger.com/profile/07679445924452689802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559349870936037566.post-66841300654705606922012-10-18T09:09:32.566+01:002012-10-18T09:09:32.566+01:00Good points.

I'm surprised they didn't name-drop the Beatles in the notes, but yes, it's probably the same guy. A well respected session man in the 60s. Just emphasises that some of these covers LPs were seen as quite serious projects - not just thowaways done in someone's back room.Popperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05135391179253864071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559349870936037566.post-18987906781477871442012-10-17T23:30:03.311+01:002012-10-17T23:30:03.311+01:00Here's another bit of trivia.

According to the notes, the female lead singer was also appearing on a BBC Radio program called 'Parade Of The Pops' I wonder where we've heard a slight variation of that name before.....<br /><br />Also the drummer, Andy White is the same drummer that played on the album version of The Beatles 'Love Me Do', Ringo played on the single version, but that's another story lol. How ironic that he can be heard here playing on a cover of The Beatles tune 'A Hard Day's Night'. :-Dbro19https://www.blogger.com/profile/07679445924452689802noreply@blogger.com
