Released February 1962, I found a stock copy of this record, then a short time later a job lot of comedy singles was listed on a certain auction site, the listing had all the titles listed, quite a few were on my wants list, I won the auction at the listing start price, the Arthur Haynes record was amongst the listing, it was not mentioned that it was a promo, when the records arrived there was one more that was not on the listing, so matching up the titles to the list, the extra record was Hughie Green - The Puppet Song, I already had a copy of that record however the new copy was in much better condition than my original copy, there were 21 records in the job lot, only one was in poor condition.
Arthur Haynes 19th May 1914 - 19th November 1966, I remember watching the Arthur Haynes Show on TV, his catch phrase "Up to my neck in muck and bullitts for the like of you" and his tramp character, his co stars Dermot Kelly, Patricia Hayes, Rita Webb and Nicolas Parsons.
While running the original blog I had the BBC contact me, they wanted to use my recordings in a documentary about Arthur Haynes as their copy was in poor condition, the documentary was produced and shown on BBC but did not in the end include the records.
I was going to post this record before Hughie Green record.
