[78-L] Harry Roy's Swedish recordings

[GAVIN WHITELAW]

Julian, 
 
I am not at home now, so have no access to either my Farbridge discography or Rust so it was all off the top of my head as regards dates and info.
 
As far as I recall the late Keith Farbridges discography said they were issued in Sweden and this has been confirmed by another member. I suspect these sides are rare and that Rust/Forbes never saw any copies and got their info slightly wrong. An easy mistake if they were never issued in the UK.
 
The collection (and the records I have are from Keith Farbridges collection and include some of Harrys own off air recordings and test pressings) does have some missing items and if possible once I have this project done I will ask the group to help track down what is missing. Hopefully they are all out there somewhere!!

According to Rust & Walker's 1st British Dance Band disco, they were 
issued anonymously on Silverton (note different spelling) in Denmark!
