VARIOUS ARTISTS : SATURDAY CLUB LP

Original 1964 U.K. first issue mono pressing released on the red unboxed Decca label LK 4583. 

Description :

Super rare compilation album featuring two very early tracks by the Rolling Stones "Poison Ivy" and "Fortune Teller".

"Poison Ivy" was first recorded by The Rolling Stones on 18th August 1963 and was supposed to be released as the follow up to their first single "Come On" but it never happened. It was however released on this compilation "Saturday Club" on 25th January 1964. "Poison Ivy" was re-recorded by the band on 14th November 1963 and released in the U.K. on the 10th January 1964 on their eponymous E.P.  

"Saturday Club" has become very difficult to find especially in good shape and is highly sought after particularly by Stones collectors.

The original sleeve notes : 

The B.B.C. producers of Saturday Club write :

Almost six years ago we first heard "This is your old mate, Brian Matthew, saying "Welcome to Saturday Club," or as he writes, it on his running order, T I Y O M B M S W T S C. Over these six years, the radio audience in Great Britain has increased to one in five of the whole population. The show is broadcast to every corner of the world on short wave and is one of the top pop radio shows in the world.

Its popularity owes much to the informal uncondesending manner of Brian Matthew. Also we pride ourselves in giving the fans what they want by including top British stars, visiting artists from the States and being on the ball with new sounds, new singles and new groups. Many artists have had their first broadcast on the show. Brian Poole and the Tremeloes are a "Saturday Club" discovery and are a group which we felt certain would have a hit record soon after their first appearence.

On this LP we have included artists who have had records in the Top Twenty like Karl Denver, The Vernon Girls and The Rolling Stones. And, as in the broadcast show, there are artists for whome we predict future chart success like Lorne Gibson, Dave Berry and The Marauders.

Three quarters of "Saturday Club" is made up of performances by live artists, but the remaining half hour includes a batch of new releases, an LP spot and of course, requests. Among the thousands of cards we receive each week we find listeners resorting to all sorts of dodges to attract our attention. We've had requests printed on china, embroidered on cloths, and written on sailor hats and dustbins. A request for The Chimes came in the form of a huge foam rubber bell. As we've kept most of these odd requests, the Saturday Club office is beginning to look like a strange museum.

When you play this LP, try and imagine our control room in Broadcasting House with Vernon Lawrence and Bev Phillips looking after the control panel and turntables, Jeff Griffin playing in the tapes and Shirley Jones keeping an eye on the timing. And staying unruffled through every possible crisis (and we've had a few in our time) is Brian Matthew who says "T A F N S Y N W" or "That's all for now-see you next week".
