I first came across this record on the now long gone Red Lion pub in Hampton Public Bar Juke Box, someone saw the record on the Juke Box in the early 1970's and was trying to buy the record, he was offering £7 (more than a weeks wages for me at that time), the offer was refused as the record was not owned by the pub or the Juke Box company, I don't know who owned the record, I do know who it was given to when the landlord left and all the privately owned records were removed, the price the person was prepared to pay for the record made me think it was a rare record as there was at that time no books giving the value of records, later I acquired a copy for £1 and given a second copy later.
On the CD of the Strawbs greatest hits this has a spoken introduction that goes over the start of the track, the single does not have the spoken introduction, the Strawbs were a local group to Hampton where I was living at the time, they were known as the Strawberry Hill Boys, just a couple of miles away.
