Product Description
A key figure in British Pop during the pre-Beatles era.

He had a parallel career as a late 50’s early 60’s pop performer and songwriter.

Dale Hawkins scored with Lordan’s A House, A Car, A Wedding Ring and I’ve Waited So Long was a top 5 for Anthony Newley. Lordan himself scored three hits in 1960, with Who Could Be Bluer going top 20.

Also in 1960 Lordan wrote Apache. A number 1 in the UK for The Shadows and no.2 in the US for Jordan Ingmann.

Lordan wrote two more no.1’s Wonderful Land for The Shadows and Diamonds for Jet Harris & Tony Meehan. His songs were also covered by Cliff Richard, Shane Fenton and he had another huge hit with Louise Cordet and I’m Just A Baby.

Included here are all Lordan’s recordings for Parlophone, which in turn represents the majority of his recording career. They include his one LP, all his singles and his author’s version of Apache.

Reissued officially here for the first time, this is also the first time the recordings have appeared on CD.

A mint original LP in stereo is a £200 collector’s purchase, the original EMI tapes of this meanwhile have survived 50 years of storage and RPM is proud to be able to present this reissue using those stereo masters.
