RECORDS
Independent label: Jambo Records was part of music publishing company Jambo Music, which specialized - and indeed continues to specialize - in film music. It started out in the early '70s, and handled the music for the entire Cannon Film catalogue. The first single , 'How Can We Run Away?' by Roy Budd and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (JF-100) appears to have been a publishers' recording, rather than an issue; there isn't a date on it, the film from which the music was adapted came out in 1972. The company was responsible for some bona fide issues in 1979-81; at least two were a reissue of the old Paul & Paula hit from 1963, 'Hey, Paula!' (JAMS-1; 1979), which was taken from the soundtrack of the film 'National Lampoon's Animal House', and Bruce Channel's 'Hey Baby' (JAMS-2; 1979), which also was taken from a film, 'Lemon Popsicle'. There were also a couple of LPs: the soundtracks to 'Just A Gigolo' (JAM-1; 1979), and 'Riding High' (JAM-2; 1981). The film of 'Just A Gigolo' featured David Bowie, but the soundtrack didn't, though one of his songs is on it. Distribution of Jambo records was by Pye Records. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
