BUSKER
RECORDS
Busker Records was a DIY label owned by all-round entertainer
and budgerigar specialist Don Crown. Busker's only release was Mr.
Crown's own 'It's A Dog's Life' (DC-1), which was mainly intended as a
promotional tool - only fifty copies were pressed. The year of issue is
uncertain, but it was certainly from the '70s. The decade
saw thee other Don Crown singles: 'Budgerigar Man' on Orange (OAS-507;
9/70); 'Mrs. Wilson's Budgie' (PT-340), which was issued in 1971 by President;
and 'Bass Drum Man', which was taken from the 1973 Paramount film 'The
Optimists', and came out on Go Ahead records (GA-101). Don still
performs frequently in London - along with his
budgies. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The
Info.
