Conroy libraries

[soundsville]

Hello vultures.

We all know that Chappell and KPM relased there 78's in chronological order in lp format. Does anyone know if Conroy did as well? I recently picked up a nice Conroy 78 by Les Sharp and his band. The tracks are "Big Game" b/w "Kinda Bossa Nova". Both are credited to R. Merrell and J. Harris!

Cheers,

It's possible, but personally I've never seen any.

Some of the orange cover LPs have tracks listed as 'ex-BM xx' (xx being whatever number 78 it was originally sourced from).

Would J. Harris be Johnny of that ilk, by any chance?

I am assuming it is Johnny Harris. Is he still alive? Has anyone considered tracking him down and getting his story?

Yes, he's still around - he's based in the US these days, I believe.
