CULTURAMA



A one-off member of the Philips family.  The sole Culturama record came with a book of pictures associated either with Wales or with the investiture of Prince Charles as Prince of Wales.  The ceremony took place in 1969 but online sources all give 1970 as the date when the book and record appeared, so I've afforded them a place here.  Text and artistic direction were by Terry Mead, Osian Ellis provided the musical direction, and there was a spoken commentary by Peter Burton.  The catalogue number of the EP was A-001 and pressing was by Phonodisc.  The text appears to be as much about Wales itself as about the investiture, but there are a few sound-snippets taken from the ceremony.
