7" Vinyl
Patrick Macnee and Honor Blackman - Kinky Boots / Let's Keep
It Friendly (Decca F11843, February 1964), Great Britain.
Oh yes, its that record. Reissued twice, adopted by French and Saunders,
and written by the men responsible for Peter Sellers' Goodness Gracious
Me. Incidentally, has anybody ever come across an original 1964
copy of this record with a picture sleeve?
Linda Thorson - Here I Am / Better Than Losing You (Ember
EMB S257, 1968).
It's not clear whether there was any reference to Linda Thorson's role
in The Avengers in either the publicity or on the rear of this single.
Linda Thorson - Here I Am / Better Than Losing You (EMI
Columbia DCB 143, 1968).
This is the Belgian release of this single.
Linda Thorson - Here I Am / Better Than Losing You (Epic
EPC 7063, release date unknown).
This is an intriguing one as it names both Tara King and The Avengers
on the cover. The image looks slightly more sophisticated than the 'sweet
girl' look on the sleeves above. This is a French release: the text
on the rear reads "Linda Thorson est certainement plus conne du
public francais sous le pseudonyme de Tara King role qu'elle incarne
avec succes dans la serie de television chapeau melon et bottes de cuir.
Soyez sur que bientôt sur votre petit ecran et sur votre electrophone
ella sera vraiment Linda Thorson". If anybody out there is worried
about the missing accents in that text, please feel free to correct
it and send it to me.
Linda Thorson - You Will Want Me / Here I Am (Ember EMZ
006/E, 1968).
Judging by the catalogue number, it looks like this one could have been
a promo. It is a beauty, mind you, and is possibly the only contemporary
non-theme Avengers record that features characters from the show.
Honor Blackman - Before Today / I'll Always Be Loving You
(CBS Records CBS 3896, December 1968), Great Britain.
It is believed that this may have been available a promotional demo
only. More information would be most welcome.
Honor Blackman - Men Will Deceive You / Tomorrow Is My Turn
(Garrison Recording, no catalogue no., November 23rd 1971), USA.
This is an odd one. The copy I have is a metal acetate test pressing,
so I have no idea if this was ever issued, nor which label it was meant
to be on. The two tracks are from 'Everything I've Got', but why they
should be issued seven years later is unclear. Any information on this
will be gratefully received.
Diana Rigg - Forget Yesterday / Sentimental Journey (RCA
Records RCA 2179, March 1972), Great Britain.
There has been the suggestion that this was only available from theatre
where the play this was taken from was running. Any clarification of
this would be welcome.
Patrick Macnee and Honor Blackman - Kinky Boots / Let's Keep
It Friendly (Cherry Red Records, Cherry 62, 1983). Great Britain.

picture sleeve.
See above.
