Robin Timms Tunes

The late Robin Timms, a member of MBSGB, was a Church Organist, Choirmaster, Singing Teacher and also the only person in the UK who arranged lots of new tunes for the 11 inch (28cm) Polyphon.
He mostly arranged directly from the sheet music and composed two tunes himself especially to be punched on these discs. It has been felt that his work was rather unique and important and worth preserving in some way.
Over the past 30 years the discs were punched by Patch Pierce and now Lester Jones (Renaissance Discs), who has master discs for most of these 94 tunes. Kevin McElhone acquired most, but not all, of his self-arranged discs from the executors of his estate and has recorded all of these tunes for others to enjoy. Kevin also has some of the discs for sale. Contact details for Kevin and Lester Jones can be found on the links page.
Robin's work on these tunes is detailed in a series of three articles in The Music Box Summer, Autumn and Winter 1981.

So far there are 5 titles missing from these recordings so if you have any of the missing discs, Kevin would be grateful if you could send in recordings so this work may be made completed. The missing disc numbers are - 9002, 9026, 9077, 9084, 9089.
