"This is the first spoken word release from Michael Curran's Tangerine Press and it is quite a doozy. Mary was one of the UK's premier pornographic actresses of the 1970s, and she recorded various ad-libbed erotic stories back in the day. Some of these were released on flexidiscs (so they say), but I doubt many folks have heard any of these nasty bits before. Packed in a beautifully printed psychedelic cover, with a booklet included in the first copies, this one is a very weird glimpse into the all but forgotten world of audio erotica."
— The Wire

Mary Millington (1945-79) was the most famous pornstar in 1970s Britain. She appeared in all the best known 'adult magazines' of the time and had a starring role in the 1977 film Come Play with Me, alongside legendary British character actress Irene Handl. The film ran for four years — still a British cinema record. Her introduction to 'the industry' came about with her mother's diagnosis with breast cancer in the later 1960s. The idea was to fund her mother's treatment through modelling, all apparently with the blessing of her husband Bob Maxted, whom she had married at the age of 18. At first, she posed for 'Camera Clubs' in and around London, moving on to the better paid photo-spreads in magazines like Knave and Fiesta. This then led to her travelling to Frankfurt and appearing in her first hard-core film Miss Bohrloch (aka Miss Borehole). Other films soon followed, attracting the attention of millionaire porn publisher David Sullivan. The two soon became lovers and Mary appeared in all his magazines such as Whitehouse and Playbirds. Her fan club boasted over a million members — quite an achievement in the pre-internet age. By the late 1970s she made a number of successful films including Come Play with Me. As a side project, Mr Sullivan suggested she tape some sex stories to sell on cassettes with the magazines. Nigel V was the man for the job… Tangerine Press's connection with Mary is geographical. Her highly successful sex shop was located in Tooting High Street, less than a mile from our studio. At its peak, it was the most profitable independent business in the London Borough of Wandsworth. Sadly, Mary's time in Tooting was relatively short. Following the death of her mother she sank into depression, suffered from drug addiction and debt and being found guilty of a string of petty thefts. She died of an overdose in 1979 at the age of 33.

The only way to find out more about the enigmatic Nigel V, the man who made the original recordings with Mary in the late 1970s, is to purchase the record and read the broadside. His story is quite unexpected…
