In his 2015 memoir Unfaithful Music and Disappearing Ink, Elvis Costello recalled an early gig at the British Legion Hall "on the posh side of Birkenhead Park" in Birkenhead, Merseyside. "I can't say my set was a triumph," he wrote. "I went off to a round of feeble applause from a handful of pensioners supping mild beer and a smattering of teenagers in army petticoats drinking cider. However, once I found a singing partner in Allan Mayes, my performances became a little more controlled and his superior musicianship and more melodious voice balanced by chaotic approach." Initially with Alan Brown on bass and then as a duo, Costello (then known by his birth name of Declan MacManus) and Mayes performed together as Rusty from January 1972 through June 1973.

Often music composers, singers, musicians and pop groups have their day of popularity and then they dissappear or are forgotten about. The Les Humphries Singers is perhaps such an example. This group dates from 1969 when the first version of the group was formed in Hamburg Germany by English Born Les Humphries. These are five of the most important or most successful Original Vinyl Studio Albums from the legendary "Les Humphries Singers" of the early seventies. Yes, here are these goodies inside you missed so much and haven't heard anymore for around forty years or since you sold your Original 8-Track-Tapes or LP's at the local flea market for a much less price than it was worth. Yes all sixty songs, the sound and feelings are back now on five Compact Discs and without any LP crackles anymore. All twelve songs of each album were carefully transfered with the finest Decca Royal Sound and are finally re-released for the first time on the "Original Album Series" with a special price by now.
