Harmony Hairspray Relaunch (1973)
  • Gently Flow (1971) Johnny Scott [1971 album “The World of Johnny Scott” (KPM 1093)] (“Welcome to the most important relaunch of 1973. . .”)
  • The Dam Busters March (1955) Eric Coates [perf. Geoff Love & His Orchestra, 1971 album “Big War Movie Themes” (Music for Pleasure MFP 5171)] (RAF stock footage)

 †Recognized by Shazam as this version, and indeed it sounds very much like it. However, I can find no information on the Carlos Casamorin Orchestradespite their appearance on several streaming platforms. Recordings attributed to them seemingly come from various sources, both old and new.
