Released by Decca and written/produced by Hugh Mendl, this LP record covers the 34th Grand Prix d'Endurance which ran on June 18 & 19 1966. When this project was conceived, the producer had no idea what a historic race this would turn out to be, with the mighty Ferraris vanquished and for the first time ever, American cars filling the first three places with the unbeatable Ford GT40.
Track listing:
The Mulsanne Straight at night
The preparation - and practice session
Prelude to the start - The start - and the first lap
The Esses at dusk
The Mulsanne Straight - the fastest part of the circuit
- and a drink behind the straw bales
Mulsanne corner and the Signalling Pits
The Fairground at 10.30pm - and the Esses again
The pits at 3.30am
The long haul to victory - and the dead-heat that wasn't
Commentary is by James Tilling, with Bruce McLaren, Graham Hill, Chris Amon, Carroll Shelby and the voices of the public.
Incredible sounds of the cars (210mph down the
Mulsanne!) and superbly produced. Close your eyes and you are there!
I've a couple of copies on CD of this LP going spare. Please send £ Sterling 12.50 UK or £ Sterling 14.50 Worldwide (inc. post & packing) to my Paypal account- [email protected] noting your full name & address, and I'll send a copy out to you...
