First record I ever purchased, initially for the sax backing. Our gang used to listen to it in the phonebox next to the recca on Boothferry Road in Hessle (opposite Darley's pub). When teledisk was a feature of the Hull Telephone exchange in the mid-50's + Strangely I ended up marrying a lass from his birthplace (Ottawa) 25 years later.
