DORNEY PRODUCTIONS
A small independent
concern from Burnham, Buckinghamshire. An EP of Scottish dance tunes by
Frank Reid and his band seems to have been Dorney Productions's only
release. There's no date on its labels but the picture sleeve places it in
1979. In addition to the medleys shown above the EP offered a set
of strathspeys (?) called 'Dorney Wood', and a set of reels called 'Just
For You'. The catalogue number was AD-001, and the matrix numbers -
LYN-7130 / 7131 - indicate a Lyntone pressing. Frank Reid made several LPs
in the 1970s for London Highland Recordings, and again the '80s for his own
Frank Reid Recordings; an article in 'Box and Fiddle' magazine for December 1991
said that his band had been going for twenty-five years at that point, and that
it played for dances all over the Eouth East.
