Independent label: BLINKERS Goodnight Blinkers
(Extremely rare 1967 UK solid centre private press 7" vinyl single, also
including Hello Blinkers. This 7" was reportedly penned by Graham Gouldman at
the request of Tom McHugh, the manager of the club, for use as a theme tune.
Recorded at Strawberry Studio, this disk also features Lol Creme & Kevin
Godley, although no credits are given on the disc itself. The 'Blinkers' club
was an exclusive 'A' list celebrity watering hole during the sixties in
Manchester that George Best liked so much that he bought the building above it
to turn into a boutique. The discs were only available to people that frequented
the club, either to buy or as gifts, and very very few have survived the last
forty five years. This disc has now become legendary among Graham Gouldman
and 10c.c. collectors for even pre-dating Frabjoy & Runcible Spoon as a
record of the band's history. This was an exclusive to the Club, only likely to
be picked up by 'A' list celebrities & therefore unlikely to be treated with
the reverance it is due as a piece of modern musical history. It was obviously
not pressed in a premium pressing plant either, It is suspected that the A-Side
vocals are sung by Kevin Godley & the faster B-Side by Lol Creme. As a piece
of music history, it is rare. As a piece of 10c.c. history, it is rare. As a
piece of Graham Gouldman songwriting, it is rare. As a piece of sixties 7"
plastic, it is rare. Distributed By Blinkers.
