UNITED NATIONS ASSOCIATION



A one-off custom recording label.  The Leeds and District Council of the United Nations Association commissioned a piece of music to mark the 25th anniversary of the United Nations, and with sponsorship by the Montague Burton branch of the U.N.A. a recording of it by the Leeds Youth Orchestra was issued in 1971 under the title of 'The United Nations Overture' (UNA-1).  On the reverse the orchestra was joined by the Choir of Allerton High School for a rendition of 'The United Nations Anthem'.  The single appeared on the U.N.A.'s own label, and was pressed by EMI.
