this is nice. l love these 60s songs about villages and people being people. He's got to try to take it easy lol No way this was going to be a hit. But good for a sweetener. Thank you for posting...

@MoblePhnsMakeUGrwOld Thanks for your comments.I think this would have fitted nicely into Keith West's/Mark Wirtz' 'Teenage Opera' or possibly on a Kinks themed album like 'Village Green'.As you rightly say,it had no chance of being a hit,I don't recall hearing at the time,not even on the famed Radio Luxembourg.

Crap! I had forgotten all about the 45! I had it in the late 90's and foolish sold it, cool track from that "everyman" genre ("Reflections Of Charles Brown", "Excerpts From A Teenage Opera" etc).
