Teasing the Korean Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Most sources reference a release date of 1968 for this outer space/spy masterpiece by Roland Kovac. But a few sources, including MPS, indicate a recording date of 1964. Stylistically, it sounds closer to 1964 than 1968. Was this released prior to 1968? Was it truly recorded in 1964 and not released for another four years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Deuchar was still London-based I believe until at least mid 1965, then joined the Edelhagen Orchestra in Germany. This suggests that the 1968 date is probably accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted July 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Thank you both. Maybe MPS screwed up the date on their reissue, and the wrong date was subsequently picked up elsewhere. I guess 1968 is accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
