A Personal History of the British Record Industry 80 – Terry Oates
This wonderful sketch of Terry was drawn by Peter Dadswell. I used it once before as part of the lengthy Jeff Kruger interview, but it is only now I have discovered his name as the artist. Peter wrote an excellent appreciation … Continue reading →

A Personal History of the British Record Industry 76 – Tony Hall, Pt. 3 and conclusion.

The Book that never was – and never will be

A Personal History of the British Record Industry 67 – Bunny Lewis 5 and conclusion
Bunny had just listed some of the artists that he signed to Columbia during his time at EMI including The Avons, The Mudlarks and, via Top Rank, Craig Douglas. I then asked about the frequency with which singers changed labels … Continue reading →

A Personal History of the British Record Industry 66 – Bunny Lewis 4
