The Devon Coast Country Club was a sports-orientated holiday camp in Paignton. During the Second World War it was used to house Prisoners of War; normal service was resumed after the war, and it kept on entertaining holidaymakers until at least the mid '80s. At some point in its existence it issued an EP by Stuart Eddy, who, along with his band, was presumably one of the resident entertainers at the camp. The EP was numbered 001; Googling has failed to reveal the existence of an 002 or of any higher number. There isn't a date on the label, but the West of England Sound studios, where the tracks were recorded, seem to have been most active on the vinyl front in the first half of the '70s, so it's not unlikely that the EP dates from that period. The material on it is mostly Trad Jazz, with one Latin track.
