VERY RARE ORIGINAL UK 7" VINYL

Wyngarde became a British household name through his starring role in the espionage series Department S (1969). After that series ended, his character, the suave womaniser Jason King, was spun-off into a new action espionage series entitled Jason King (1971), which ran for one season (26 one-hour episodes). The quirky series was sold overseas and Wyngarde briefly became an international celebrity, memorably being mobbed by adoring female fans in Australia. He was not afraid to spoof his alter ego's outlandish Afro wig and Beatles' moustache by appearing in one episode essentially as himself without makeup in the role of a decidedly middle-aged man.
In 1970, Wyngarde recorded an album for RCA Victor entitled simply Peter Wyngarde and a single, La Ronde De L'Amour / The Way I Cry Over You. The album was reissued on CD as When Sex Leers Its Inquisitive Head. Unusually, Wyngarde did not deliver a set of easy listening standards but a most unusual collection of spoken word / musical arrangements.
The LP is believed to have been quickly withdrawn after its release, but has gained cult status in the intervening years. Selections are often played on XM Radio's Internet-only retro-lounge channel 79, On the Rocks. On 13 Feb 2009 on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, singer Morrissey presented Ross with a signed copy of the album.
These are not the theme tunes to Department S or Jason King,the 2 tracks on the single are taken from the Peter Wyngarde Lp
