@oscarelgy This is Australian pressing so it can handle the heavier soundbox better than the UK & USA pressings. Even in the 50's & 60's, many places here were still without electricity so electric pick-ups weren't as widespread here as in other countries. HMV were still manufacturing wind-up portables in 1960 & they were sold here for at least a couple yrs after that.
hey, i know how you can get that crackeling sound on you ipod, just brack the headfones, so that they almost don´t work...:P and on a cd, leave it in a dusty room for like 3 years, and than clean it, and the sound is simular...:) i am talking out of experionce...(and don´t braik the expensive headset, would be a wast...:)
I have a 45 rpm vinyl version of this that belonged to my late parents - memories of infancy indeed - the b side was A Smile is Something Special which can also be found on here... Having not heard/played for decades I still remember all the words - not that they are 'difficult' - I feel old and 'sad' now he he but thanks for posting! ;)
This is the version I remember as it sounds like it is the very first original.

thanks for posting, great memories, but i am worried that the pickup on your gramophone is bit too heavy for a '56 78.

I just love the crackle sound that records make... it makes you feel so warm and relaxed. A sound that you can't get on CDs or your ipod.
