Description
A ONE OFF OUTING BY THE GROUP, APPARENTLY INSPIRED AND PRODUCED BY RADIO 4 DOORSTEPPER MICHAL WHALE. RECORDED IN '72 WHEN "BOVVER BOYS" WERE AN ISSUE, BEING APPARENT IN FOOTBALL STADIUMS AND TRAINS NATIONWIDE. THE "A" WAS WRITTEN BY NEIL INNES AND MICHAEL WHALE AND IN A FOLK SONG TYPE FORMAT TELLS ABOUT THE SORT OF THING BOVVER BOYS GOT UP TO COMPLETE WITH SING ALONG CHORUS IN WHICH THE VOICE OF PYTHON TERRY JONES STANDS OUT. THE "B" HAS TWO TRACKS, THE FIRST, "PIRAEUS FOOTBALL CLUB", PART WRITTEN BY NEIL INNES, IS A TAKE OF A RECORDING SESSION GOING WRONG THAT WILL NEVER END. THE SECOND, "AN OPEN LETTER TO GEORGE BEST", WITH INTRO BY MICHAEL PALIN, IS WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY MICHAEL WHALE AND IS WHAT IT SEZ ON THE PACKET!!. I DON´T REMEMBER THIS 45 TROUBLING THE CHARTS, MAYBE IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO IN PYTHON DOWN TIME?? CHARISMA RELEASED THE SINGLE IN '72, CB.197.
NITTY GRITTY: IT LOOKS GOOD AND NEWISH AND PLAYS EXCELLENTLY. THE SECOND TRACK ON THE "B" HAS A COUPLE OF POPS(THAT CAN JUST ABOUT BE HEARD) BUT WOULD BE DUE TO STUFF GETTIN´ IN THE GROOVE IN STORAGE TIME AND IT IS HEARD BECAUSE IT IS A SPOKEN WORD TRACK. A TRIP TO THE VINYL DOCTOR WILL SORT IT OUT. THE DISC COMES IN A PLAIN WHITE BAG.
