Showtime 11

Overview

Showtime 11 --- 1967-10-00

Many of the artists are identified only as "orchestra" or "chorus" — identities sourced from the LPs where they originally appeared. Compilation of show tunes from earlier WRC releases (mainly on the Light Music Club sub-label) — the eleventh in a series of twelve, issued in time for Christmas 1967 (falling between the end of the June 1966 – May 1967 programme, and the start of the December 1967 – November 1968 programme). Mono and stereo versions have same number on back of sleeve (S/T4178) — the mono version has "T-4178" on beige 'strobe' labels, while the stereo has "ST-4178" on green 'strobe' labels. The stereo version has a printed "stereo" rosette on the back, and the mono has a red sticker with "mono" placed over this (though these tend to drop off with age). Issued as a 'dividend' release, offered at a low price ($1.80 vs the regular $3.75) for club members who had bought one LP or more in the previous 12 months.
