  1. Broadcast 1121 causes confusion!

    A-side: Sparks – Slowly But Surely. The song was released in 1962 on the Hull LP 1002 as Slowly But Surely (I Am Falling In Love).
    B-side: Carousels – Away Over There. The song was released on the same LP as Away Overthere; group name spelled Carousel’s.

    Confusion eliminated?

    • Great find! Split credits are often overlooked. This is a good correction. The LP 1002 scans and back jacket are no longer available on youtube. The linked ‘insert’? presents another credit problem, which I hope is addressed in the post.
