Thank you noswonky (if I may call you that?!!) I'm delighted and curious to know how you found it. Did you do a search on You Tube or just stumble on it?

How very nice to hear that you like these songs so much after all these years.

By the way my ancesters came from Norway - they were Vikings and landed in Northumberland and stole sheep, silver and servants (!) My real name is Suilven and that is Norwegian too but I changed it to Sylvan because nobody could get it right.

Kind regards to you

A beautiful song with an excellent B-side, released in February 1970

Thank you for your kind comments. How did you hear of this record I wonder?

With kind regards

I googled the song name and found this video. Also, in the 1980s I played guitar in a wedding reception band. One of the songs we played was Delilah. I didn't realise the connection between the two songs until I found your channel!

PS: You can call me noswonky any time. :)

And sorry for taking six months to reply. YTs email notifications are not reliable.

When I was 7 years old, my mother owned a reel-to-reel tape recorder which she used in her work as a speech therapist. It was very high-tech at the time. I learned how to use it and I recorded some random songs from the radio. There was one song that I played over and over and it became the first song that I ever got 'hooked' on. I've had that song in my head for the past 39 years and, have often thought about it, but I never heard it again - until today! Thank you.

Part 2:-

I got hold of my first copy already in Spring of 1978, and I love both sides.

As it happens, my second best record of all time is: "High Time you put your tears away" by Barry Mason himself(!)released 14. August 1970.

I also have in my collection "We don't belong" from 1965.

-Cheers!

Dear Sylvan Whittingham,

Sorry for the delay..

I wasn't aware of your pleasant and suprisingly good video, and you look terrific both of you!

In song in question with flip-side called "Oh Baby" was officially released in the Uk Friday 27. Febr. 1970.

I heard the A-side on Radio Lux./BBC 1 in Febr/March 1970, but obviously the D.j's should have played your single much more on the air - it is such a lovely tune slightly over the top!
