Gene-r Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) Browsing through 45cat just now, and I came across this oddball in the Stateside discography. Never seen it before, or even knew of its existence. Does anyone know anything about it? Any more releases in the CSS series?

Denbo Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Gotta be for export. Question is, which country? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Gene-r Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) Gotta be for export. Question is, which country? Exactly my thoughts Den. Unusual number though, CSS 1! Makes you wonder if there were any more released after this. Both sides were released as separate Top Rank singles in 1959 and 1961 respectively.

No, I'm pretty sure it was on here. Can anybody else track it down? The other thread that is. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Bo Diddley Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Hi, I'm no expert (get that in before anyone else!) This one states that CSS is Malasian... https://www.45cat.com/record/css3017 This gives a bit more info and says it's Singapore.. https://rateyourmusic.com/list/smithy57/the_australian__tateside_label___the_oss_series_1964_1968 although I've also seen records listed as being from SIngapore with a different prefix. Not sure if that helps Cheers Kev Bod Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Not sure if that helps Cheers Kev Bod Thanks Kev. Given the info in the links, I'm assuming that it's an export intended for the Asias. Unless anyone else can shine some more light on it. Makes a change from two hours ago, when I first looked at the label and thought "CSS? FFS!". Edited September 19, 2012 by Gene-R Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Roburt Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 This US ad placed by EMI in 1965 gives a strong clue as to the 'worldwide' reach of the company .......... ... it states they sold their product in the UK + 45 other countries. Some of these are easy to ID (Australia, NZ, Caribbean Islands, India, Sth Africa, Singapore, Malaysia, etc) but I'd guess it would prove a hard task to come up with the complete list.
