IDLE ON PARADE
























ANTONY NEWLEY - IDLE ON PARADE
DECCA RECORDS DFE 6566
I've never seen the film 'Idle on Parade' (a parady on Elvis' induction into the US Army that was released in 1959).
But I have always loved all the tunes on this EP from Decca Records.
If you listen closly enough you can hear the similarity to Tommy Steele and Jim Dale (I can anyway) so it's definately a British rock 'n' roll record, and not British rockers trying to do an Elvis.
I've had this record since my teens, unfortunately without the cover, but I found them posted on the net and included them in the download.

    Remember seeing the film, back when it was originally released. I took a hot totty named Ann Craig and we sat in the back row of the Essoldo Cinema, Belmont Circle in Harrow and my hand was inside her blouse for most of the film!
