(UK) FONTANA Corrections &
Additions, etc.
I received an email some time
ago which I never followed up, but which I think was from Steve Power. It
mentioned John Dummer, and at the time I was baffled by it. However,
whilst compiling the Philips singles listing, I discovered that the
Fontana catalogue number 6007 027, which was definitely a French issue by John
Dummer's Famous Music Band, was also used for a UK Fontana demo pressing by the band
Czar, but the 'stock' pressing was issued on Philips 6006 071 in December
1970. Around this time, Philips were trying to end Fontana as
a singles label (although it did burst back into life later) and the Czar
release was transferred to Philips.
