0623 Les Condon [From First To Last] VOB (28.05)

Contributed by delmonico, who writes:-
A Ford Motors Documentary Film with Music by Les Condon
A 28 minute dvd produced for the Ford Motor Company in 1962 and outlining their Quality Control Systems.
It's something a bit different for BritJazz but the film is quite fascinating showing how the work used to be done on the production line before automation took over. I can just see the Health and Safety people today covering their eyes especially in the shots from the paint spray room.
For car buffs there are shots of the Consul, Zodiac and Zephyr in various stages of production.
The music background is provided by a Group led by Les Condon (trumpet) but neither the titles or the other musicians are identified, although Les does get a screen credit.
