Three years ago Keith Hughes asked a question in the MU68 thread about whether anyone would be interested in buying music by SRGS. It is nice to see the imminent release of “All Turned On” which will contain a track by them.


My question is this, and apologies if it sounds rather basic. I know that SRGS issued two albums – “Hungry For Love” and “Swing”, however, I have come across three other albums not mentioned on DFMC which were issued on the Marble Arch label in the UK:

MAL 641 San Remo Strings “Summertime In Venice” [[1966)

MAL 642 San Remo Strings “The Sound of Romance” [[1966)
MAL 654 San Remo Golden Strings “Around The World” [[1967)

These seem to have been released just ahead of the two Gordy albums.

Marble Arch also released two Motown-related albums, the Isley Brothers “Take Time Out With the Isley Brothers” [[based on “Twist and Shout”) and “The Early Show” with Tammi Terrell and Chuck Jackson which dated from their Wand days.

Can anyone confirm if these three SRGS albums are by the same musicians please and if there is any background information on them? As an afterthought, I did find two or three tracks on YouTube which don’t seems to have been released as far as I can find out at the moment.
