“Julie” The Musical CD

Some years ago Stan Foster arrived at an Alma Cogan Convention held In Leeds, he brought along a small dusty Cassette tape which he said was a few tracks from a musical he had written called Julie, and had Alma taking the part of Julie Knight the leading lady. Stan said the sound quality was very bad and wasn’t sure it would play, but it did, and as Stan said the quality was very poor.

As the years past it was forgotten until the unfortunate passing of dear Stan In December 2008. Carole Foster Stan’s widow contacted me and said she had found some reel to reel tapes, asked if I would listen to them and tells her what the tapes had on them. It was the Musical “Julie” the sound quality was a little better, just a little. As I had been involved with the Sepia Records double CD release of “Ladies and Gentlemen” Miss Alma Cogan, I asked if he could do anything with the tapes Carole had found in her dusty loft. Richard Tay of Sepia said he thought it would be best if he sent the tapes to “Stage Door Records” who specialised in this type of material.
Tim Hutton from “Stage Door Records” decided to take the project on and after many hours of cleaning the tapes up the sound quality is now out of this world. Tim decided it needed something special to accompany the CD....something special isn’t the word. Tim and his team have produced a fantastic booklet ...with many new photographs, Carole has re-written the script...to go along with the CD so that the listener can follow the story of Julie Knight.

Tim, Carole and I have done our very best to promote this wonderful CD writing to as many radio presenters we could think of...and I have recorded a couple of BBC radio interviews.

I would like to thank Tim Hutton for his faith in this project...and for the thought that has gone into making this one of the best Alma CD’s if not the best. Tim has made the CD a “Limited Addition”. I would also like to thank Carole for all her hard work...which at times must have proven difficult with Stan not been around to see his “Baby” come to fruition.
Let’s hope we can all make this Alma & Stan CD a sell out..as it truly deserves to be. You can order direct from The Alma Cogan Fan Club almacogan@gmail.com or from Stage Door records www.stagedoorrecords.com
We have had orders already from Australia ,Switzerland, US, Canada and Spain!!!
