PAUL KIRNER plays "WONDERFUL LAND" composed by JERRY LORDAN
(1934-1995) published in February 1962, on TECHNICS SX-U90.
A terrific hit for THE SHADOWS, originally known as THE DRIFTERS,
on Columbia Records 45rpm single, sorry not to have shared a bill with them.
As HAZEL and the PAUL KIRNER SOUND we worked with a number of groups
including Liverpool's own FREDDIE and THE DREAMERS, lovely Boys,
and THE FOURMOST, some smashing lads and I still have the LP
they kindly presented to us at the end of the show.
Paul's recording was originally released on Compact Cassette in 1982 -
"THE ORCHESTRAL SOUND of PAUL KIRNER" and later on CLS label CD.
Many Thanks to Rod Moore of Earl Shilton, Leicestershire, for use of his Technics U90.
