Hiya Paul, it's a Dave Hamilton recording that came in about three different versions, none of them released. We put the most finished one on the first CD and also on a Kent 45 which is now deleted and probably quite hard to find. It was originally played off acetate but i think the acetate may have been cut in the 80s.

Cheers

There is also a version by the Pearls on Lamp.

The Acetate as far as i know was an original which came from Poke's collection to Rich Broughton to Jim Wensoria to Rob Marriott and then finally to it's rightful place in my collection!!

As far as memory serves, Poke had it for a while before that. It's a real one alright.

That's about right. Story as above. It was on an Audiodisc acetate and was fairly rough. There were a lot of Audiodisc discs around at the time though, so I always had a degree of uncertainty about it. Things like the Accents (which Poke also had on an Audiodisc acetate turned up in volume) were around and ended up being 10 a penny. When Poke and I had it, the artist was unknown, so Poke had called it Cleveland Wilson in fine old c/u style. Amongst other things I bought from Poke at the same time were Paul Thompson and a HDH acetate 10" of Richard Parker's 70's version of "Just like the weather" at the same time. £45 for the three - they don't make deals like that anymore do they? That said, Poke's Brothers Gilmore "I feel a song" went to Arthur for £15, now that was one I should have kept!

best,

RB

Rich, How are you mate, hope you are well. Judging by the condition i think it would have been a bit difficult to cut onto something so rough so would still hold that it's a real one. (no amount of rubbing on the carpet can do that) I remember trying to describe the record to you after Poke was selling but not having a very good singing voice could only blurt a few of the words to you and then when Jim played it at Rock City I found out you had had it and sold it to him. Still a great tune though.
