The Continentals has been played on NTS in shows including Soup To Nuts w/ John Gómez, featured first on 23 September 2020. Songs played include I'm Ready To Get Down.

1) The Continentals are Bill Holliday, Tom Doherty, Alan Harris. The sleeve comes from their 1979 CBS recording of Fizz Pop Modern Rock together with B side 'I lost my love on a 747'. The single was produced by Tommy Erdelyi of the Ramones. The group came from London and were managed by Doug Smith, then manager of Motorhead. They were included as part of the unique but short lived NuDisk releases in the USA - 10" EP's . Elvis Costello was also one of the artists released in this format in the USA. Music was largely New Wave high energy although other tracks reflected a wider and different style. Fizz Pop Modern Rock received good air play but the follow up single 'Housewives Delight' was less well received by radio stations. Probably due to the lyrics which were about DJs at the time! Bill Holliday and Tom Doherty also co-produced and wrote tracks for the highly rated Rockabilly group 'Whirlwind' . The title of the Single 'Fizz Pop Modern Rock' was used for two compilation albums released in the USA by Epic featuring a range of hi energy music.

2) 1960s Garage/Psych band from Georgia, US.

3) International christian ministry (Continental Singers) started by Cam Floria in 1963. The Continentals have recorded over 60 albums. There are several groups (e.g. The Continental Voices And Brass, The Young Continentals, The Encore Continentals, Continental Kids, etc, etc) who play over 1,600 concerts a year.
