xiphophilos 26th Jan 2018		Yes, since the ad is from June 7, the record could easily have come out the previous month.



mister_tmg 25th Jan 2018		I think we can be sure it was from 1950. But I wouldn’t be 100% sure it was from June that year.



xiphophilos 25th Jan 2018		I agree, this June 1950 ad probably mentions Petula Clark's "Music, Music, Music" because it was a recent release at the time (or at least a current hit). Who would advertise that they are now finally selling a hit record that has been out for more than 6 months?



mister_tmg 25th Jan 2018		Very interesting, but it doesn’t actually say it’s a new release as far as I can see? I suppose it would be recent at least.



xiphophilos 8th Jan 2018		Just found an ad in a contemporary Australian newspaper that dates this release to ca. June 1950.



mister_tmg 12th Sep 2014		I don't think this is from 1949. I think her first Polygon sessions (where she recorded these tracks) were in 1950. In 1949 she was recording for Decca and EMI. I think the early Esquire records were 'testing the market' in Australia. This is often cited in Pet's official biographies (in concert souvenir programmes etc) as her first record, when collectors know it isn't! I suppose it makes a better story that her first recording was called 'Music, Music, Music'...! [Changed date to 1950. Mod.]



Pridesale 20th Nov 2013		To add at sometime You Go To My Head / Out Of A Clear Blue Sky Esquire E1011 (AUS) /1949 And Silver Dollar / Talky, Talky, Talky Esquire E1024 (AUS) / Melodi E5001 (DEN) /1949 + more from 1950 etc see http://www.petulaclark.net/discography/discog4955.html



LouisSidney ● 17th Jan 2013		Yes Mickey, it's a repro on two CD. Very nicely done.



mickey rat 17th Jan 2013		Was gonna reply to LouisSidney's comment here but it's vanished. Anyway, you're right LS - the link you had was exactly the item I was talking about.



Jock_Girl 15th Jan 2013		Yes -- it is 1949. Typo on my part. I'll request a correction



mickey rat 15th Jan 2013		I thought this was a 1949 issue but could be wrong. Amazing that several of her early 78s were ONLY released in Australia. 78s of hers on Esquire and Radiola used to turn up quite often here in Oz in junk shops but are now rarely seen. I had an Australia only double 78 of hers in heavy card gatefold picture sleeve in very clean condition on Radiola in my shop stock for years at a very cheap price but couldn't sell it. I eventually put it on ebay but still no nibbles probably due to the weight of an overseas parcel. It eventually left me at a record fair and the buyer probably sold it on to someone in France. C'est la vie I suppose.
