A friend just lent me a 45 single record of Turk Murphy to listen to - 
details below.

cover title: TURK MURPHY and His Orchestra

tracks: Georgia Bo Bo
         The Yellow Dog Blues

label: Verve V2053 "TONO -pladen med FM-KLANG"

It is unusual in that the disc is bright yellow vinyl and it turned up 
in Australia even though it looks to have been manufactured in Europe, 
possibly Denmark. The back of the cover advertises other discs in the 
series by artists such as Grete Klitgaard, Malhini Knitetten, Gustav 
Winckler and George Lewis (I know who George Lewis is).

The band sounds like the 1970s lineup. It would be interesting to know 
if it was an "on tour" recording session or a USA one. I'd like to be 
able to tell the owner of the record the recording details and 
personnel. Is anyone able to identify this one, please?
