FEBRUARY 2010

A message from Adrian Wright,

owner of Must Close Saturday Records

Music has been a balm during this oh so cold winter. Among the highlights of the last couple of weeks has been the new recording of IVANHOE, Sir Arthur Sullivan's almost forgotten 'grand' opera. It's been constantly playing in the house!

But enough of me recommending other record company's products ...! Check out our various offers. Not least a very special price for the original London cast recording of the splendidly lively and tuneful VIRTUE IN DANGER, one of the finest recordings made by one of the greatest of British musical actresses, the redoubtable PATRICIA ROUTLEDGE. At only £5.00 (plus postage - this is Britain, and postage is expensive!) this is a fantastic opportunity to add this to your collection. At the moment we are also sending a copy of Noel Coward's recording of his musical CONVERSATION PIECE absolutely free with all orders delivered to the UK. Yes, for only £6.50 you could get 2 of our superb CDs. Although, of course, we hope you will be adventurous and order one or two more!

Remember ... we are the ONLY record company specialising in British musical theatre of the Golden Age. There are other things that distinguish us from some other companies who occasionally issue theatre recordings. We are experts, often working with estates of writers and composers. For example, we have released recordings that have only been possible because of our links with their estates.

One of our forthcoming CDs has been made possible only because of our very privileged connections with the Noel Coward Society, and other rarities have only been made available to our company, as with private recordings of Julian Slade, and in collaboration with the Richard Addinsell Trust, as with the original Broadway recording of his ALICE IN WONDERLAND.

Our booklets are pithy and entertaining in their own right - the American critic Steven Suskin called

them 'compelling'.

And, unlike other similar companies (how could they be similar to US?!) when finances permit we make original recordings, as with our magnificent studio recording of THE AMAZONS, and our much admired guitar album of British theatre music by Dominic Ashworth.

Watch this space for more news in the coming weeks!

Meanwhile, a great thank you to all our customers.
