Wendy King - Ukelele Girl

Wendy King – Ukelele Girl

Sleeve Notes:

Wendy King – born into Show Business! With her father a comedian and her mother a dancer it’s no wonder that she has inherited the personality, originality and vitality necessary for this exacting profession.

Getting into her stride with her own backing group at the tender age of thirteen, Wendy was proclaimed in the national press as the Cinderella of Song – she was allowed to sing in public provided that she was home by nine o’clock! Two years later she jumped on the stand at a Bob Miller performance and insisted on singing with the band. The result? Bob Miller immediately signed up Wendy, and she toured with his band on a series of one-night-stands, culminating with a season at the Palace Ballroom, Isle of Man.

Wendy then turned to the world of cabaret as a solo performer, becoming a star success right round the country. Then, an audition on the famed programme ‘Opportunity Knocks’ resulted in a triple win, leading to no less than sixteen TV shows on Tyne-Tees, Grampian, and Border TV.

To start with her father (who knew the hard, problematical world of Show Business) did not want Wendy to follow in his footsteps – but her insistence and obvious talent won him over: inspired by her success, he is now the writer of Wendy’s original songs. A champion sprinter in her Youth Club days, Wendy is out to prove – as Hughie Green proclaimed on TV – that she is going to be a longstayer in the field of Show Business: and all the signs are that Wendy is now well on her way up the ladder of fame.

Golden Songs of The Beatles – Various Artists

Sleeve Notes:

What can one say about the Beatles that has not already been said! There has never been a show business success story to equal theirs, and their music has dominated the pop charts all over the world for the last eight years! Their songs have been recorded by everyone who is anyone from Frank Sinatra to symphony orchestras.

We have recorded twelve of their number 1 hits ranging from beautiful ballads to hard rock. What more can we say except WOW!

City of Westminster String Band - Home Lovin' Hits

City of Westminster String Band – Home Lovin’ Hits

Sleeve Notes:

No-one is adverse to a little home lovin’ at the best of times and music certainly contributes a great deal towards it. It was with this thought in mind that this particular album was conceived.

The City of Westminster String Band, nothing whatsoever to do with the City of Westminster County Council as is sometimes thought, was formed a year ago, and with now three albums to its credit has firmly established itself as an orchestral sound of today that has become strongly identifiable. “Good Morning Starshine”, for example, the lead track on the last album ‘Latin Escapade’, has been used every day by Tony Blackburn on his morning radio show ever since the album was released.

It is yet another step for the prestige of the orchestra to be selected as part of the Pye 413 label. Great trouble has been taken over the sound to give a really good stereo response.

Together with some of the world’s best known songs of today, it is hoped that this album will go towards making your home lovin’ a lot happier for some considerable time to come.

John Schroeder.
