Are you a Gene Pitney fan? - he's in the show most weeks but we have a weekly one-hour programme 'Gene Pitney And Friends' on twelve radio stations(ten in the UK). We started this month on a local station in Gene's home-state of Connecticut - see details below and since then two further stations have joined us - West Norfolk Radio and Serenity Sound Radio. A Facebook page has been set up to support the programme, take requests and for information on the artist you won't find published elsewhere. It's a closed group so you need to apply to join The Gene Pitney Show. 

From Ace Records comes the best Marianne Faithfull CD for some years - we started plays in November. This contains all the UK singles between 1964 and 1969 (her Decca years) plus tracks from the hard-to-find EP 'Go Away From My World'. 


Jasmine Records have a great new Jimmy Justice CD. Although he only had a handful of UK hits he made some great singles over a four year period for Pye...most of them collected here together with really good album tracks from the day. This week we feature one of his biggest hits.


The early hits from Ken Dodd are featured on a new CD from Jasmine. This contains his Decca releases and some of the early Columbia recordings with Norman Newell...it's on our playlist this week. Also on the show this week -  Cilla Black with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra album that's selling so well right now, entering the charts in the Top 30. This will please old and new fans alike; really excellent production. From the same company comes Cliff Richard's new CD 'RISE UP'. We've already played the title track and more tracks are planned for December. Cliff is doing his usual round of TV appearances to promote this first set of completely new recordings in 14 years. 

'LATIN FOR LOVERS' is the title of a new CD set from Doris Day. This largely showcases her 1964 album and contains some of her best recordings - the album being made around the time of the success of 'Move Over Darling'. This comes from SFE Records.

I have been in the media business now for 50 years starting out with local newspapers in Surrey and then Record Mirror and Music Week, part of the Billboard group. I then joined Pye Records/ATV and Stoll-Moss Theatres at the end of the 60’s. In 1971 I moved to BBC Radios 1 & 2 in the early 70’s and then worked for Radio Luxembourg/Atlantic 252 in a management capacity and then ran local commercial stations in Glasgow, London and the Isles of Man and Lewis. My programme is currently broadcast by a mix of FM and internet stations and I am on the Board of Directors of one FM station and a Board consultant to another. In 2002 we had a world exclusive on Frank Sinatra on Isles FM - see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/1790935.stm or http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/sinatras-carousel-song-gets-airplay-after-14-years-671738.html
