Jason sez,
The UK's Trunk Records are always unearthing and releasing strange, lost recording from the 20th Century, but their latest release, "Music For Biscuits" has the most incredible story behind it.
The tracks are all by Mike Sammes, backing singer and vocal arranger for almost everyone back in the 60's (Crosby, Sinatra, Bacharach, Streisand, The Beatles, Judy Garland…) and were mostly made for commercials. Apparently the one for tractors is especially good.
Mike's story does not end well however. He died almost completely alone after a long illness exacerbated by a fall. The master tapes were rescued from his house, which had already been ransacked, just days before the rest of his belongings were disposed of.
(Thanks, Jason!)
