RECORDS
Independent label: Weekend Records was the record label of London Weekend Television. It appears to have been active from 1977-78, though it enjoyed a brief revival in 1990. Weekend's '70s singles were handled by DJM and shared a DJS-10000 numerical series with those of that company. Manufacture and distribution were by CBS, as they were for DJM's own records at that time. The 'A' on the appropriate side is just for easy identification, it doesn't indicate a promo copy. DJM did the marketing until the end of July 1978, when that company's sales force was closed down; after that point CBS presumably marketed Weekend records alongside the other DJM product. There were no hits on the label. Carl Wayne Real Name: Colin David Tooley. (born August 18, 1943, Birmingham, England – died August 31, 2004, Birmingham, England) was a British singer and actor. He is perhaps best remembered as the lead singer of the Birmingham rock group The Move during the late 1960's. In 2004 he was admitted to hospital for tests; he was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer and died a few weeks later, aged 61. Telephone Bill & the Smooth Operators were a Cambridge based band of the late 1970s / early 80s, fronted by Nick Barraclough (later a BBC country/folk presenter and producer). Essentially folk and bluegrass oreintated, 'The Bill' also included virtuoso fiddle / mandolin player Gerry Hale, Anne Baker, songwriter Chris Cox, and (at various times) Robb Appleton, Andy Metcalfe, Tony Shepherd and Richard Lee.
