Yes, it was originally played from the above mentioned LP, then got a UK 45 release on the strength of the popularity.

I first hear it at the Mecca / Ritz, then at Cleethorpes shortly afterwards.

No other 45 that I know of - unless it was released in another country at the same time as the UK 45 release

Isn't that Parliament guitarist Gary Shider? Whatever....with this funkadelic dress it is surely one of the George Cliton Family

It wasn't GC doing the vocal was it on Please don't run?

The GC on ABC was a classically trained musician. I found a test press of the album along with a great pic and bio of the guy a few years ago. Songs got one of the greatest breaks ever and a sax solo to rival even the late great Thoma 'Beans' Bowls. Frantic stuff but brilliant out LOUD!!

There's a UK 'House of Sounds' bootleg of Fantastic Johnny C - Don't Depend On Me with PDRFM on the B side.
