Starbreaker - The Sound Of Summer b/w Arizona Lost And Gone (1977) - single

This single is a very rare production by John Carter, who was responsible for many of the great sunshine pop hits of the 1960's and 1970's... (Incidentally, Carter and Shakespeare are the same person... Shakespeare is Carter's original last name.)
Carter released records under many names: Stamford Bridge,  Kincade ("Dreams Are Ten A Penny"), Scarecrow and Stormy Petrel. He also released a single as The Ohio Express, an American bubblegum group renowned for not playing or singing on most of their records. The hit came with "Beach Baby" by First Class in 1974. After two First Class albums, Carter started concentrating on writing advertising jingles. Among his work are commercials for Vauxhall Motors, British Caledonian and Rowntree's. His last shot at a hit single was in 1977 as Starbreaker with "Sound of Summer", which itself began life as music in a commercial for Butlin's.
