This is the cover of
The Man In The Moon, the 7" 45rpm EP record featuring Charlie Drake,
The Michael Sammes Singers and Johnnie Spence And His Orchestra. This vinyl release featured the hit songs from Robert Nesbitt's Space-Age musical, which ran at the London Palladium from December 23rd 1963 for the Christmas season. (That's roughly the same time that the British public were catching there first glimpse of Doctor Who's Daleks!) Now I wasn't around back then but I am just old enough that everything above means something to me and I actually know, broadly speaking, who all of those names are, but then I am developing a latent taste for cheesy old tunes of yesteryear.

Glad to see you`re still alive.I`ve got a couple of oldies this time.
ReplyDeleteThe first is 1958s Missile to the moon,its a real cheapie,the suits are basically flight suits with helmets and face masks but hooked up to oxygen tanks on the back,real low budget poverty row stuff,but technically a spacesuit.

The next one is also from 1958,its From the earth to the moon
The suits in question look a little diving suit-ish,but they do qualify as spacesuits tho we barely get to see them used.

ReplyDeleteI wonder if you'd be interested in my new song 'The Naked Spaceman'. A funny take on my attempt to get into the space race. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_OLpSR340A
