Thanks for the info, Michael. I tried to google this but couldn't find a matching label design. Or any label at all actually.MikeR wrote:This could be a disc of library music belonging to the Associated British Picture Corporation, who owned both Elstree Studios where the filmed episodes of The Avengers were made and ABC Television.peabody wrote:Hello, it's me again. Just watched "Who's Who???". What a terrific episode that one is! Thanks to the higher resolution I was able to see the label of the record Lola and Basil are dancing to in Steed's apartment. It says Mantovani and the date "7-11-57". Mantovani is hardly the kind of stuff you put on if you want to dance!
There's also "BRITISH" and "CORP Ltd.", plus stuff that seems to have been crossed out with a black felt pen. I couldn't figure out the rest of the text, but the record itself seems to be one of those 16 inch transcription discs, often used by radio back in those days.
Back to the viewing!

Hmm, I can see it's a Mantovani collection with a hand-filled label, so almost certainly a studio special.
The other LPs on view in the episode are:
Africa Speaks, America Answers - Guy Warren with the Red Saunders Orchestra (1956)
http://www.discogs.com/Guy-Warren-with- ... se/4250621
Ballads for Night People - June Christy (1959)
http://www.discogs.com/June-Christy-Bal ... se/3819124
Hardly the most recent swinging Sixties hits!

That Guy Warren LP is actually a real party album.
Check out this song from it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq_rzjzaIfM
I can imagine Basil and Lola (or Steed and Mrs Peel) dance to it!

I only said they weren't the most recent swinging Sixties hits, not that they weren't a cool groove.
