ELECTROLA
RECORDS


Independent label: Electrola Records managed at least one single. A freebie for Willenhall Coachcraft, it was - and is - a Volkswagen dealer, which suggests that the British version of the EP may have been pressed for Volkswagen and imported by them as a freebie for their dealers to hand out. Comparison with the few other records with similar catalogue numbers suggests that the EP may date from the run up to Christmas 1968. A German version with the same catalogue number but a different label, and the tracks are included on a couple of LPs there as well, but sadly none has a date on it. The songs are sung in German, despite the titles being given in English. It was a German pressing for export to the U.K., seem to use the 7 PAL **** SM cat. no. system (sometimes without the SM).  Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
