Released 1969, both sides of this record were written by Peter Sarstedt.
I was thinking about the continuity announcers on ITV Children's TV Wally Whyton and Muriel Young, Wally Whyton had a hit record as part of the Vipers Skiffle group and released a number of records under his own name, Muriel Young like Christopher Scott appeared as a narrator on a number of Meccano Story Records, they also had a number of different hand puppets over the years starting with Pussycat Willum, the flaw with Pussy Cat Willum was he didn't have a mouth so could not speak, this was rectified on the replacement Ollie Beak and later Fred Barker both spoke, From memory I seem to remember another Children's continuity announcer on ITV, he was always in strange cloths and had a dark secret about the Dagenham Cocoa Rooms, I think his name was Reg, I always found him rather weird.
