Notes
Taurus T.R. 101 (side T.R. 101A), black label, 45 r.p.m., ℗ 1973, made in England by The Decca Record Co. Ltd.; "Vietnam" (A. Fenech/J. S. Grech), 2'30". The picture sleeve (TR 101, Taurus bull logo) shows a red line drawing of a hand giving the V sign, filled with newspaper text about Saigon and the Vietnam negotiations, set against a tinted close-up of a smiling face, with "The Girl I Had" as the flip side. [From the record sleeve and labels]
About the artist
New Cuorey issued "Vietnam" b/w "The Girl I Had" on Taurus Records (T.R.101, 1973). The Discogs artist profile documents a lineup of Sammy Bartolo (lead vocals), Joe S. Grech (lead guitar and bass), Joe Bartolo (drums and vocals) and Paul Abela (vocals), produced by Vanni Pule, and cites the Times of Malta - all Maltese names, which identifies this as a Maltese group rather than the similarly-named Japanese act New Cuorey. Non-US either way. [Source: Discogs]
