Interesting story on this one - here is Side 2 with the massive hit Nights in White Satin published by Tyler Music.
Here’s the story:-
"Lonnie Donegan was fond of telling people how badly done by he was over the recording of his debut hit, Rock Island Line in 1956. He had received the standard session fee of £3.50, which worked out at 70p per song, for the five he cut that day. He didn’t receive any money in royalties when Rock Island Line sold three million copies in six months. But Lonnie wasn’t always so hard done by. In 1965 he signed a nineteen-year-old singer named Justin Hayward to a management and publishing contract with his Tyler Music Company. Justin had been in Marty Wilde’s group and after signing with Lonnie he released a single on Pye and then another on Parlophone.
In 1966 Justin joined the Moody Blues and soon began work on their groundbreaking Days of Future Passed album. The biggest hit from that album was Nights In White Satin, which has charted in Britain three times and reached No.2 on the US Hot 100. The song is published by Tyler Music, Lonnie’s company, and earned the King Of Skiffle a veritable fortune over the years. And it wasn’t just that song, but also most of Justin’s other songs that featured on the Moody Blues million-selling albums."
I’ve just downloaded the Bowie podcast and listen to later today. Thanks. 
Great story, Andy. Thanks for sharing!
Is that the 5 minute or the full half hour
Looks a bit quiet Steve! 
Good stuff that.
Creedance Clearwater Revival self titled album circa 68.
Yes Graeme I think that’s one of the things I like about him, that he does what he wants and we can take it or leave it. I was at the right age to embrace the electric period and the attitude that went with it. My reaction to Slow train was the same as yours for many years but now just see it as the start of a decent gospel music period.
Btw did I miss it or did you skip album 4
You’re up late.
Suzanne Vega, An Evening Of New York Songs and Stories. Vinyl.
It’s a freezing evening here in Montreal tonight (minus 17, feels like minus 22) and Suzanne’s songs and stories are warming me up. One of my best purchases of 2020.
