The idea behind this website must have started when I spotted a copy of "Hoots Mon" by Gordon Franks at a car boot fair. Gordon Franks was a well known name in the 1960's and 70's if you watched the credits at the end of television programmes, it was his orchestra providing theme tunes and "incidental music"
I considered buying it as a curiousity, but somehow, I didn't.
The very next week, Brian Matthew mentioned Embassy Records on his "Sounds of the Sixties" show, playing "Last Night was Made for Love" by Johnny Chester, inferring that this may be a more famous person under an assumed name. It was certainly a more than acceptable performance.
Brian also stated that quite a few people recorded for Embassy under assumed names, suggesting that one should seek out recordings by Matt Bryant. "Think about it" were his exact words.
So, I thought about it, considerably more deeply than Brian intended!
I couldn't find embassyrecords.co.uk, so I registered it and here we are!
That's my perspective, What's yours? Hoping to hear from you.
