Derek Pearson Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Last week I got a copy of Joe Frazier's "First round knockout" on Motown in a trade. Think it was a late Wigan sound and when I played it again it was so very evocative of that period, fluffy white towelling socks, swirling spencers and polyveldts. Originally released in 1975 it hasnt aged well, Joe was a major boxer but a singer he aint. Bet you didnt know it was written by Van McCoy! £12 and its yours. VG+ P&P extra. cheers, derek
