LINGASONG
RECORDS
Lingasong Records was a DIY label. And was formed by
former Beatles manager Allan Willians and BUK boss Paul Murphy for one purpose :
to release a record of an early performance by the Beatles (at the Star Club in
Hamburg, in 1961). Despite opposition from the Beatles and from Apple
the release went ahead. Lingasong's only single, which featured 'Twist And
Shout b/w 'Falling In Love Again'(NB-1; 1977) was taken from the
LP. Manufacture and distribution were by RCA - according to Billboard
magazine of the 28th of May 1977 Lingasong had sold the album to RCA, who had
improved the sound quality of it and were going to reissue it. Thanks to
Robert Lyons For The Info.
