Topo Gigio In London

I can remember the Topo Gigio Television Series I have had a poor copy  of this record for some time it is missing it's cover has drawing on the label and has a skip, some times it is not the stalls that have lots of records that you find the bargains, I found this at the first Hook Road Boot Sale this year I was on my way out and I saw a stall holder get out a small pile of records possibly 2 dozen at most I picked them up, and started to look through them there was nothing special there but in the middle was this record and the only one I brought I asked how much and I heard twenty I thought he was going to say pounds then came pence.
This1967 release is one of the rarer Century 21 records, on the back cover it says " Watch Out For Future Releases" was that for the label of for more Topo Gigio records, this remains the only Topo Gigio release on the label.


There are some inaccuracies in the record as Crystal Palace is served by the Underground and I do not think they ever had Formula One Racing there.

Jackie Pallo - One Little Packet Of Cigaretts

When this record was issued far more people smoked cigarettes and often people would write numbers on the packets and inadvertently throw away the empty packet.

Sunbury Junior Singers Of The Salvation Army - All Things Bright And Beautiful

When I posted another Sunbury Junior Singers record I commented that I lived in Hampton which is next to Sunbury and that I had never heard of them when I was young, someone commented that they were a Sunbury Junior Singer and they were in Catford, that is why I had never heard of them when I was young. This release on EMI's budget label Music For Pleasure has a 1967 release date but that may be for the original LP I think the MFP singles came out later.
