Comments:
Information from the booklet provided with the owned LP compilation
(RCA)
"Golden Age Singers" is a name given in the World
Encyclopedia of Recorded Music, Third Suppl., but not named in the
booklet included with this LP album. Dominic Oldham, Eileen
Mcloughlin's son gave me the following explanation:
"My mother is Eileen Mcloughlin who was in fact with both the
Golden Age Singers and the Deller Consort. Alfred left the Golden
Age Singers and formed the Consort as a male voice only group. He
decided after a relatively short time that this format was too
limiting. My mother left The Golden Age Singers at the end of a
tour and was approached by Alfred to join him at the Consort along
with April Cantelo."
The RCA LSC number is presumably the stereo version (from backcover
of the booklet) although I am not certain if it was released as
such.
