I haven’t listened to this yet, but I already know I’m going to enjoy it. Thanks!
Thanks for this one. I used to have the 45 of this, although the B side was different.
Nice one! Had never heard Plum Pudding before – not really a song though, but I’ll add it to XMAS rotation.
I’ve just heard the songs, they’re very funny!
Man, you’re full of surprises.
Hugs from the bottom of the Planet Earth.
You’re welcome Ezequiel. Hugs!
What a great rare post Paul! Very anxious to hear the exclusive B-side.
It’s that time of year when we are all singing along with the Christmas songs. Hope you do a series of Christmas 12 inches. Would love that.
But for now thanks for this post. Ho ho ho…
You’re welcome Stefano. Happy Holidays 🙂
