John Benson Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dean Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 It wasn't GC doing the vocal was it on Please don't run? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Moore Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 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!! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
