TRUCK
RECORDS
Independent label: Truck Records it managed at least one
single. This single was released as a special promotional item by Truck Magazine
in the UK in 1976. Truckin' Man has no artist credit and seems to be session
musicians and singers. It is co-written and produced by 'W.J. Woodman'. Derek
Benfield played the role of Bill Riley in the popular BBC drama series The
Brothers (1972-1976. 'Truckin' Man' / 'Ol' Bill' by Derek
Benfield. 'Ol' Bill' was the theme music from the television drama 'The
Brothers', and Benfield played a prominent part in that series, which concerned
the various goings-on inside a haulage company. The catalogue number of
the single, FF-102, suggests that there should be an FF-101 out there somewhere,
but if there is I haven't managed to trace it. Pressing was by RCA, and the
mention of Truck Magazine on the labels suggests a tie-in with that
publication.. Distributed By Truck Records. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The
Info.
