Lost Gems on 45’s, Part 2

 

This Part contains the most popular song in Poland in the early 60’s: L. Fisher & A. Gulino – Telegram Of Love. Those days, access to vinyls was in Poland limited to zero and records pressed on postcards replaced them. Telegram of Love, also frequently played in Polish Radio, was on top for few years. Every 70+, living in Poland in the 60s, remembers this song. Very nice tune, absolutely unknown outside of Poland. 45 was pressed in US and Italy. Also, discographies of other US Forgotten Artists: The Cannonballs, Lenny & The Thundertones, Lois Butler. Track-list and link in the Aggregate Post below.
