Comments:

The "Flying High" instrumental album was a collaboration between Cherry and Nico Carstens in the late fifties.Cherry, a talented organist, became a member of Lord Rockingham's XI (who had UK#1 hit in November 1958 with 'Hoots Mon') after leaving South Africa at the end of the decade. Carstens went on to became South Africa's most recorded artist with over 100 albums to his credit. This gifted composer also scored internationally with his composition "Zambesi" (a UK#2 hit for Lou Busch in 1956).

Don Storer played drums on both HMV albums.
