RCML 14 NL Just For You - Carol Kidd with the Nightlife Orchestra

Once again, I know I have more of these, just need to find them - I definitely have Kojak & Co, which is probably the best one on the label.

[Mr]

Thanks! Was hoping you'd chime in.
Yeah, that one looked the most interesting to me too.

Do you have any details on the 'between midnight and 6 a.m.'-thing?

[Lord Thames]

I think they were made for overnight shows on UK commercial radio, where the needletime restrictions were particularly severe.
