  Something very special for this rather special or 'strange' year. This is the first CD we've ever issued without an artist's credit. "Awareness" is a compilation of five great tracks aimed at making the listener think. It starts naturally enough with a song about the Covid 19 virus, "When all this is over". Four other tracks accompany this song. They are: "We don't need 20 20 vision", "Gone but not forgotten", "It's our turn now", and lastly, "Far beyond the universe". The catalogue number is SMA 1623 and the price remains at £4.99p (inc p&p)

One last release for 2018! "Tonight (You Belong to Me)" is an instrumental version of a fabulous old song from the 1950s.

As we mentioned last year, due to popular demand, we'll still be issuing a limited number of CDs. The first for this year continues the theme of "stab"singing we introduced last year with "A Big Red Set of Drawers". This time Stavely Makepeace have come up with a real winner. "I Want You Want" (SMA 1619) features this innovative style of singing again. Track 2, "Treasured Memories" deals with an emotional subject, the loss of a loved one. Lastly, "Get a Grip" will thrill the traditionalist Stavely fan! Yet again we are holding the price at £3.99p.

Cheques made payable to N Fletcher to our usual address.


It's 45 years since Mouldy Old Dough got to number one! To celebrate this milestone we're issuing this hour long DVD called "The first 30 years" (SMA VID 002). It was originally made to celebrate Rob Woodward's 50th birthday so the original content is analogue. However, a little 'cleaning up' here and there has rendered it presentable for the 21st century. Besides, it contains some priceless interviews with the boys and some press reports which sadly no longer exist. This is a great collectors item and certainly one for posterity! The price is £9.99p (inc p&p).

To celebrate forty years since the first Stavely Makepeace release, here's a single which is every bit as exciting as that first one, "Mad Dog".

Every year throughout the world servicemen and women leave the armed forces for the last time.
