WESTMINSTER PRODUCTIONS
RECORDS
Independent
label: Westminster Productions was the resident theatre production company
of London's Westminster Theatre. The theatre was owned by MRA (Moral
Re-Armament: a movement originating in America in the late 1930s which tried to
promote Christian morality) and was dedicated to putting on productions that
looked at issues in the light of the Christian faith. These productions
spawned at least three 7" records: two EPs of songs from 'Give A Dog A Bone'
(WP-1 and WP-2) in 1964, and one from the musical revue 'GB' which coupled
Gladstone Adderley's upbeat 'Man For Our Times' with Penny Croft's reflective
'Hello Light' (WP-300; 3/1973). Penny Croft was the daughter of the
co-creator of 'Dad's Army', David Croft. Pressing of all three records was by
Orlake. There was also an 'MRA Productions' label, but it seems to have
been from the 1960s. WP1 was on the sleeve, EP-1 and ADV 1274 was on the labels.
Musical director: was Louis Mordish
