The Duke Of Burlington

The Duke Of Burlington

The Duke Of Burlington has been played on NTS shows including How the Other Half Lives, with Flash '83 (Dub Version) first played on 18 January 2015.

The main man behind the Duke Of Burlington was Italian pianist/accordionist Mario Battaini (1931-2000), who also made jazz accordion records under the alias Batman.

I think the Duke of Burlington name was originally coined as a rip-off of 'The Marquis of Kensington' - the Marquis did the original version of 'Flash', which the Duke covered.

The Duke's recording of Flash also appeared on a German LP credited to one Early Freeman und sein Orchester - Early Freeman appears to be a house pseusonym used by the Italian production company Saar who recorded the Duke Of Burlington material.
