• Hailing from South Shields, Tyne & Wear, Gerry Monroe was an MOR singer who enjoyed huge popularity in the UK at the start of the 1970s, scoring five Top 20 singles.
• He’d been spotted on TV show Opportunity Knocks by noted songwriter/performer/producer Les Reed, who signed Gerry to his label Chapter One.
• Gerry’s high, distinctive falsetto was most famously heard on ‘Sally’, his remake of Gracie Fields’ 30s classic which reached No. 4 in 1970.
• ‘Sally’ was followed into the charts by ‘Cry’ (No. 38), ‘My Prayer’ (No. 9), ‘It’s A Sin To Tell A Lie’ (No. 13), ‘Little Drops Of Silver’ (No. 37) and ‘Girl Of My Dreams’ (No. 43).

International Detective / Man From Interpol
Edwin Astley / Tony Crombie
£9.95
An exciting television crime jazz double feature presentation from Ember's historical jazz vaults, two soundtracks of similar late '50s, early 1960s vintage; pairing Edwin Astley's score for the Associated-British production International Detective, starring Arthur Fleming, Millicent Martin and Nigel Green, with Tony Crombie's Manciniesque soundtrack music for the Danziger Brothers series Man from Interpol, with Richard Wyler in the lead role as Interpol Agent Anthony Smith, an officer from Interpol on assignment to Scotland Yard. Both scores are an impressive combination of widescreen modern big band and limpid, esoteric chamber jazz; befitting the cosmopolitan settings of each production.

In this edition, Satie for Two Guitars is complimented by an intensely coloured, very French recording of the composer's music for the controversial ballet Parade in a performance by the conductor Louis Fremaux with the Orchestre National de l'Opera de Monte Carlo.
