Colin Cook 68 Single MCK 2261 Apr. 1968 Colin Cook "I've had my moments" (Orbison-Melson)
"Riot In Cell Block Number 9" (Lieber-Stoller) ............................................................................................ The Perth-based Clarion label, established ca.1962, was co-owned by Martin Clarke & (6PR DJ) Keith MacGowan. Like his Sydney namesake and contemporary Martin Erdman, Clarke developed a passion for music and sound recording as a youngster. His built his first recording studio in his mother's home as a teenager; he began his career working as a turntable-panel operator with Perth radio stations in the 1950s, while still at school. At the age of 21 he set up Western Australia's first purpose-built recording studio in North Fremantle; a few years later he sold that facility and purchased an old house at 272 Hay Street, East Perth, which he converted into the Martin Clarke Recording Studio. Clarke installed the best recording equipment he could buy, including a top-of-the-line Neumann record cutting lathe imported from Germany. The ability to produce his own master discs was a crucial advantage, giving Clarke total control of the final sound -- it ensured that sub-standard masters were not being used for pressing Clarion's records, and avoiding the risks of damage or loss of master tapes in transit and production. "No one in Australia did that, it hadn't been done before and hasn't been done since." Just like Erdman's Du Monde label in Sydney, Clarion was dedicated to local Perth acts and it did much to support the thriving local music scene there in the Sixties and Seventies, but it had a wider national impact thanks to the national breakthrough of several of its acts, notably Johnny Young. National star Colin Cook also recorded a number of singles for the Clarion Label. ................................................................................................................... # The condition of the record is Very Good Plus (VG+) # Comes with Festival sleeve Grading based on- Record collectors rating definition ......................................................................................................................
