Cowboy Church Sunday School - Don't Send Those Kids To Sunday School
I first came across a Cowboy Church Sunday School record at the now long defunct Leg Of Mutton Boot Sale at Cobham where I came across two copies of It's No Secret both on Tri-Centres, I acquired the better of the two, none of their other records ever turned up at the Boot Sales, I was sent a record by someone that did not have enough postage paid so I had to go into Epsom to pay the excess postage, car parking was a minimum of one hour so after collecting the record I thought I've just got enough time to get to the first Charity Shop to see if they had any 45's, I get there and go to the box and literally the first three records were all by the Cowboy Church Sunday School, I brought all three not remembering the one I already had, getting home I checked and they were the three I did not have, the records are sung by adult women and then speeded up Chipmunk style, to sound like children.
This promotional copy came from the Hook Road Arena Boot Sale one of the dealers put it to one side knowing it was the type of record I was interested in, at the time this record was released the Decca group for some reason issued their promotional records as two single sided records one with the "A" side the other with the "B" side, over the years they get split from each other and it's rare to find both records together. This scan is of my copy of the record, I will assume the You Tube recording is also my recording, I have never posted on You Tube, proving which recordings originated from my blog is almost impossible unless it is from the short time I was using a water mark or it is a distinctive record label.

Weekly Rant
I have just emptied the spam folder, I have noticed that 90% of the spam is for McAfee virus protection, I used McAfee once it came free with a new laptop I purchased, I had some problems with the laptop getting a virus, a quick trip to the local computer shop, and all the problems were solved they told me that they found over 3,000 items of malware and viruses on the laptop, McAfee said there were none, I was also told how the laptop had got infected, it was via an application that had been installed, that was deleted and I went back to using the original virus protection program that had always worked and vowing never to use McAfee again.
The engine in the picture is probably the most unusual locomotive to appear as a Ready To Run model an ex London & South Western Railway 0330 0-6-0ST, these were a standard design from Bayer Peacock, the LSWR had 20 of these and were all withdrawn from service by the mid 1930's, two of them saw further service, one on the East Kent Railway the other on the Kent & East Sussex Railway. The model was made as a limited edition by oo works in 2020 and was never offered in the maroon livery.
