223.0. "Football club record anyone?" by RUTILE::LETCHER (Cool before drinking) Fri Jun 05 1992 09:19

    A question for you all that might just enable me to win a 4AD record
    I'm after (tapes to anyone who can answer the question):
    
    Which football club's record has just come out in a sleeve designed by
    4AD's Vaughan Oliver?
    
    In fact if anyone can tell me _any_ club that has released (or
    re-released) a record recently (April or May 1992), that would give me
    quite a lot to be going on with.
    
    One piece of more or less useful information: Vaughan Oliver's work is
    definitely "arty" (Cocteau Twins covers are typical) and is often
    signed or initialled with a "23" or "23 envelope" rather than his name.
    
    Thanks,

223.1Sunderland/EnglandESSB2::EBAGGOTTFri Jun 05 1992 10:3317
    If the record was released in April/May of this year then it most was
    by one of the teams in the cup final,  Liverpool or Sunderland as it is
    almost traditional for the finalists to release records.  As I haven't
    heard either record I would opt for sunderland,  esp. if 4AD are based
    in the northeast of england.  (  millions of liverpool fans would push
    their song into the charts.
    
    The other possiabilty is that it is the England team song for the
    Europeen Championships.   This won't get much airplay here in Ireland
    so I havn;t heard ih either.
    
    ColourBox released a song for the '86 world cup ( on 4AD ) but I don't
    recall if it was offical or not. Sleve was  a picture of Jimmy Hill.
      New Order did the offical song for the  '90 world cup.
    
    So I guess it's either Sunderland of England.

    You can count out the New Order one, that was on Factory records.

    Colourbox... I remember buying that record, but it was most definitely
    "unofficial". But it was indeed on 4AD.
    
    And yes, New Order is n Factory, so that's out.
    
    But it's the club, not the group, that they're talking about.
    Sunderland sounds likely, but someone has suggested Leeds' re-release
    of their 1972(?) cup winners song. Anyone know more about this?
    
    Thanks for the feedback so far,

223.4This might help !!PLUNDR::LOWEGDon't believe a wordFri Jun 05 1992 14:368
    
    This doesn't exactly answer your question but somebody might know of a
    link that might provide a definate answer..
    
    The Sunderland FA Cup song was a rehash of Ain't No Stopping us now
    (were in the groove).. And it was crap like the team (OOOOoooooppss).

223.5ROKER::GEORDIEWear going up.Wed Aug 05 1992 09:455
There was a song called The Roker Roar by Lloyd Hulme and the supporters club 
released in time for the cup final last season. As far as I know that was only 
released in the North-East of England. It wasn't an official Sunderland single.
Don't know who designed the sleeve etc..
