RIP Reg Grundy

[Michael W]

RIP Reg Grundy, died at his Bermuda house at the age of 92. He made his fortune in Australian & international TV production. Apart from a lot of boring game shows he also produced some amusing soap operas like Class of '74 and Prisoner, the show about a female prison that still runs in a lot of countries as local productions.
He's of interest to this forum for his short-lived RG records label that released 45s by the Morloch & Donnie Sutherland that are good mid '60s garage beat.

RGK-1119 The Morloch Every Night / I'm Feelin' Sad 1965

Thanks for this bit of disc education! I remember the name on various shows throughout the years. Did he have anything to do with Skippy The Bush Kangaroo? I remember an episode where a rural girl got a makeover for a beach party (probably played some Atlantics music there).

He did pretty much everything except Skippy - Neighbours, The Young Doctors, Sons and Daughters, Class of '74, Class of '75, The Restless Years, Prisoner.

Prisoner is the "best" TV soap series ever made. You can see some great action here, starting at 21:30

Prisoner is good, but Number 96 is the best ever.

This is getting non-G45, but this is the only RG record I own. It's sort of related as it was written by a future Byrd

And on the topic of No. 96. I got busted at high school for having a copy of this
