FLOODLIGHT

    

The vehicle for a one-off football record.  The team concerned was Peterborough United, who with the support of the Graham Walker Showband recorded a song called 'Posh We Are' for the label; the Showband supplied the 'B' side, 'Playing The Game', themselves.  The matrix number of the single was DT-003; it was one of a series used by custom recording firm Beck Recording Studios (q.v.), through which the record was presumably made.  Klepsie, of the 45cat site, has studied the team details given on the sleeve of the record and has been able to date it to 1972.  That sleeve, and the 'B' side label, can be found by following the link.  Thanks to her for bringing the label to my attention, and to hedgehopperray, of that same site, to whom the scan belongs.
