More Info:

EMBASSY, the cover versions label sold exclusively in Woolworths, was one of the UK's most successful and profitable?record labels of the 1950s and 60s. Initially retailing at around half of the usual retail price, most Embassy releases sold in their tens - some, in their hundreds - of thousands, and many outsold the actual?hit versions of their songs. Yet none of their discs ever made the UK charts, due to objections from the established major record companies. This compilation presents a cross-section of their early output, between November 1954 and December 1957, which only ever appeared on the 78rpm format. Included is Bob Dale's celebrated 'The Man From Laramie', which reputedly sold more than 100,000 copies
