As SAM WILSON AND THE LOYALISTS put their hearty voices to each familiar batch of lyrics we can almost picture the unfurled banners, the gaily-dressed family groups, the general atmosphere of exuberant high spirits. Here are the songs with which loyal bands of Orangemen while away the twelve or fifteen miles of tramping between Belfast's city centre and The Fields. Here is a programme title - NO SURRENDER - which symbolises the forthright determination, the honesty of purpose and the steadfast loyalty of Orangemen everywhere!" Following the text block and centered underneath is a corporate logo for "Ace of Clubs London" the logo is in black and white, consists of five playing cards spread out, each of the five cards has a face value of the ace, in the centre card a club symbol covers the width of the cards, inside the club logo is the Ace of Clubs font, below in sytlized script is LONDON. The final aspect of the back cover is large black block text which records the artist name, "SAM WILSON and LOYALISTS."
