Here's the story behind that

The Blenders only release on Jay-Dee, in August 1953, consisted of the final two sides that had been recorded for Joe Davis back in March: "You'll Never Be Mine Again" and "Don't Play Around With Love." At that same session, Davis had them record a raunchier version (entitled "Don't Fuck Around With Love"), which he planned to send to disc jockeys as an under-the-table release. After this side found its way onto a Kelway release in 1971, Davis himself released the song (on his Davis label) in 1973.

ROD

Are you SURE about that Rod? You sound a bit sketchy on the detail.

As an aside (or maybe back on topic) I've was told by Brian (and have seen it done at a few of his revivals) that you did on occasion see couple dancing at the Wheel - doing a perfect mirror of each other's steps.
