had this on a single...in fact over the years jigsaw was my fave band...long before skyhigh...very under rated...this is a great track in the mode of alan bown ...incidentally same label..
ya can here the 2-tone influence in this can't ya...which was 11 years after this record was released, as most of you know. Great. It's like the U.S 60's garage/punk sounds that were released a full 10 or 11 years before British punk took off.
So glad this song found its way to Youtube. I usually avoid bands with saxophones but this is a triumph! I saw this band and heard this song several times at various clubs around Coventry. Notably the 40 Thieves club. This was their most commercial song - unfortunately it never got enough airplay to be come the hit it deserved.
This was a huge juke box favourite in Coventry in 1968, it was great for me because
Des was at the time a trainee surveyor for Coventry Corporation and was my pal at
college. It was obvious he was going to do more with his life than sit behind a desk,
well done mate.

Brilliant. It's too bad "gemm and ebay" scumbag sellers got hold of this track. Great song, far from a $300 single though.
