Your the only other person who knows this record then, I love it & has always been one of my favorite records.

I must have bought this when I was about 11. I'll add the other side soon as its as good.

Brilliant this one!I had it on a dance band days tape i recorded from the radio show,and played it over and over as i read a book on Hauntings around the uk so always associate it with old haunted Castles!!
