@Wilthomer66, me too. For about 25 years i had it in my mind that this was an original Creation tune, until a Facebook friend linked this today with information!
@thegoldfluss, this is amazing you should find this track and be commenting on it. And i've only just now found out about this today! For about 25 years i'd always thought of this as a Creation original. Oops.
I don't think Eddie and I wrote Midway Down. But we did write Man of Straw with the late Johnny Wonderling. My writing credit should say ALLANE which was a name I used at the time. My last name is Budnick.
Johnny was from Queens. His family was French. He passed away on his honeymoon in Paris a few years ago. He lived in the Woodstock NY area at the time.
My name is Ed Goldfluss and I wrote the lyrics for Man of Straw and Midway Down.
I know I received credit for Man of Straw but I don't believe John credited Carey Allen and I for Midway Down. I can't read the label on the 45 on the video. Can the person who posted it read the writer's credits?
Great to hear from you. Your name is third after Wonderling & Allen. Do you know if Allen and you got credit lines on the Creation's 45 of this song? This is a friends 45 who likes 'Man of Straw' I like 'Midway Down' and can't talk her into trading or selling it. I'd love to hear any memories of this recording you have.
This is NOT the flip side...it was the TOP side (and it was also issued on the Warner Bros label Loma first)

On the Creation single credits are to "Wonderling/Shapiro".

On both John Wonderling 7" and later cover version by The Creation, "Midway Down" is credited to "Wonderling/Shapiro"...

Wiggy, and I'd always thought The Creation did this first, very cool!
