Keith West - Sam
A second record from the proposed Teenage Opera this release spent 3 weeks in the UK charts peaking at #38, a third single would be issued that failed to chart spelt the end of the project, in the 1990's on the radio program Sounds Of The 60's they began a feature of songs that were proposed for A Teenage Opera and recorded by other artists. About 1999 all the remaining material for A Teenage Opera was finally released on a CD. In the press at the time Cliff Richard was being proposed for the lead role.

Trebletones - Butlin Holiday

Oriole the company who made the Embassy disc's for Woolworth's also released an EP of songs from the musical Oliver in 1960, with Davis Kossoff as Fagin, Maureen Evans who now recorded for Oriole, with Chorus and Orchestra Directed by Gordon Franks.

Richard Hittleman - Yoga For Health
In the 1960's and later CBS produced special records for other company's promotions, in my first job working in the Co-op in Hampton there was a promotion on Danish Bacon buy x amount of Danish Bacon and get your promotion card stamped you could send of for an EP featuring Simon & Garfuncle, Arita Franklin, The Pedlars and another group I have forgotten who it was, I said to my friend who worked there "I would Like that record" in a flash he thrust the card into my hand with all the relevant stamps on it, when the record arrived there was also a flexi of the song used in the advert Yummy, Yummy, Yummy both are long gone. I do not know what you had to do to get this Yoga record.
