COMBINATION

Combination was the
resident theatre company of the Albany Empire theatre, Deptford. At
least one record was issued on their label; it was a single by company
member Debbie Bishop and Rough Edge, and it featured 'England In Disguise' on
one side and 'Mr. Monochrome' on the other
- by mistake 'England In Disguise' labels appear on both sides. The catalogue
number was RL-1, which suggests that co-producer Rick Lloyd may have been the
driving force behind the record, and the year of issue was 1978. Both
songs were taken from the theatre company's production 'One Gun Salute', which debuted in
June 1978 when the theatre reopened after a fire. Thanks to Barry Adcock for bringing the
label to my attention and for providing the scan; thanks also to Paul
Middleton, the lighting designer for 'One Gun Salute', for details about the production and
the label mistake.
