Norman & Norman (& John)

Here are a couple versions of the same LP, only one of them leaves out one of the performers. These budget labels do some strange things sometimes, I tell you. I'm sure I picked up the album shown above because of the cool diecut cover with the 3D sections. The scan really doesn't do it justice with the foil reflecting a lot of light and making it sparkle (except for the taped bits, those don't sparkle...). You can see it's credited to an organist and someone else on the carillon. Then later I found the different issue shown down at the bottom, credited only to the organist. Are the bells missing on that release? No they are not, they just aren't credited. Poor guy, like he disappeared from the face of the earth. The second cover is pretty sparkly, too, with some added glitter here and there. Unfortunately, that makes it really rough on the record next to it in the stack. You've got to be careful how you store it, and don't pull it out of the stacks too often. And you won't have to ever pull this one out of the stacks because I've digitized it for you. Your choice, too, you can download the one with or without poor John. This is Norman Ward With/Without John Lloyd-The Glorious Organ And Chimes Of London Cathedral (Buckingham Records XS-960, Stereo, 1960). I also don't think this record has anything to do with London no matter what the cover might lead you to believe, either.
