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.
