FLOODLIGHT
The vehicle for a one-off football record. The team
concerned was Peterborough United, who with the support of the Graham Walker
Showband recorded a song called 'Posh We Are' for the label; the Showband
supplied the 'B' side, 'Playing The Game', themselves. The matrix number
of the single was DT-003; it was one of a series used by custom recording firm
Beck Recording Studios (q.v.), through which the record was presumably
made. Klepsie of the 45cat
site has studied the team details given on the sleeve of the record and has
been able to date it to 1972. That sleeve, and the 'B' side label, can be
found by following the link. Thanks to her for bringing the label to my
attention, and to hedgehopperray, of that same site, to whom the scan
belongs.
