A DIY label, seemingly a one-off. A version of Richard Addinsell's 'Warsaw Concerto' by Manchester band Nobodies appears to have been the only record on the Lightnin label. It had a catalogue number of IC-276, which I believe is part of a series belonging to Strawberry Studios, of Stockport - presumably the single was recorded there. There is no date on the label, but the band is reported to have had a residency in one of the Pontins holiday camps in 1973 and '74; the person who reports seeing them there bought the single, which gives us an approximate date for it. The 'Warsaw Concerto' is taken quite straight, while the 'B' side, 'Alice Anne', is jaunty Pop with a slight New Vaudeville Band feel. The style of the matrix number in the run-off suggests a British Homophone pressing. Thanks to Robert Bowes for bringing the label to my attention.
