'A Rarity or Not' RARE 78rpm OF "JOHNNY REMEMBER ME" This month sees a number of additions to the Official John Leyton discography. Yes, even more UK LP and CD releases that contained 'Johnny Remember Me'. 
Whilst carrying out some recent research, we came across news of an
official release of 'Johnny Remember Me' on a 78 rpm single on the
Top Rank International label. UK Record Companies phased out releases
of 78 rpm singles during 1959 and 1960, in favour of the more popular
45 rpm single. However, 78 rpm singles continued to be released in
some other markets. 
With the assistance of our good friend Eric Gunn we can now confirm
the release of 'Johnny Remember Me' b/w 'There Must Be' on a 78 rpm
single. Eric has managed to obtain a copy of this 'rare' item and
it now resides proudly in his collection of John Leyton records.[ Pictured right ] 'Johnny Remember Me' b/w 'There Must Be' a 78rpm single released on Top Rank International in South Africa. Catalogue No. JAR 191 'A rarity or not' |
