Apropos of yesterday's link to the classic MAD Magazine flexidisc, "It's A Super-Spectacular Day," MrMule has digitized another great vintage flexi, this one a singing brochure for a chain of UK holiday camps.
After digging through our old collection of vinyl, I happened upon this tremendously cheesey song, "Thumbs up, book early" performed by Franki Woods (well my copy says Franki Woods, but apparently his name is Frankie Woods) who was children's entertainer at Prestatyn for 30 years. He wrote many works in that happy chappy George Formby style. The flexi disk originally came with a colour brochure…
Pontins was/is an institution in British holiday making, seaside resorts resembling brightly painted detention centers with free ice cream and the best in talent, nobbly knees and limbo contests!.. wheeeeee, what fun!
(Thanks, MrMule!)
