Come Outside With -The Definitive Collection

Repressing. UK collection from the British actor/writer/producer and brief pop star. 'Come Outside' reached #1 and was the record that propelled Mike Sarne to fame and began Wendy Richard on her long show biz career. It is still an unusual record and one that is played regularly by a great many radio stations. The liner notes included on the inlay relates the story of this remarkable man's career, his satirists' view of the world which shone through his recorded work. The music was arranged and directed by the wunderkind producer Charles Blackwell, still only 22 at the time and the man behind John Leyton's hit records. Leyton and Sarne were stable mates in Robert Starwood's organization both combining modeling, acting with singing and performing. Sarne later turned to photography, providing shots for the likes of Vogue and Cosmopolitan before reinventing himself again as a movie director and making Johanna (from which Scott Walkers hit of the same name sprang) and the Hollywood cult classic Myra Breckinridge.
