Thanks to the valiant services of Andy Briggs of Kent, we have a succulent treat for you.
Andy, who went to the trouble of ripping the 7" vinyl to CD and posting it from Blighty to Oz, reports that there are no writers shown on the record label (shown above), just the publishers (Leeds & Cheppell). The record was released in 1957. He notes that he discovered the record before finding out who Sabrina was from this website - "amazingly suggestive-sounding record for the time and I was pretty dumbstruck when I saw the pictures of her!!! So I reckon this record must have had a lot of blokes rather excited at the time."
Not only then, Andy! The pressure is rising at nylon.net even now!
So, for your aural pleasure, nylon.net presents the tremendous vocal talent of Sabrina (Norma Sykes) for the first time, and often in tune, on the steam-powered Internet.
