THE MAN WHO STARTED IT ALL
The website includes a history of the Embassy label, details of the artists with, where possible their real names, a Guestbook where you can leave a message or memory and in time a list of all the Embassy records ever made.
James BondThis is a most spectacular cover. An EP issued at the time Sean Connery was riding high in the film charts with his portrayal of 007, James Bond. It contained 4 previously issued tracks, detailed of which may be found in Recordings. | The TwistNo photos on this EP cover but good music. Contained 4 previously issued "Twist" recordings. | | The SixtiesNo. 4 in the Jukebox Favourites Series. This EP would have been released in the early 60's and the cover shows the recordings. | Mike RedwayMike was one of the the most prolific singers to record for Embassy. Here, one of his EP's has been released in Spain. | | MusicalsAs well as the Top Twenty, Embassy used to issue Film and other Scores. This EP shows the issue of Gigi and Carmen. | Bud AshtonSomething of an enigma, here 4 recordings by Bud Ashton are released in Spain on the Vergara label. | | SkiffleSome well known Skiffle numbers, performed by The Coffee Bar Skifflers | GoldfingerDespite having to be played at 33 rpm, this is a Single release of Goldfinger by Joan Baxter, issued in south America on the CBS label. | | Man of MysteryReleased in Argentina. Orchestra conducted by Steve Stannard. | Back to the Twenties.One of my favourite LP's. In line with the 20's theme, the sleeve notes say "Vocal refrains by Bobby Stevens & Don Duke". | | Wonderful LifeSongs and music from this Cliff Richard film. | Dixieland, The DixielandersThere is still controversy over the line-up. | | | | |
Embassy Records certainly had some wonderful EP & LP Covers.
I hope you have enjoyed looking at some of my collection. You will find more throughout the website.
