The
last single to be issued by The Wurzels in the
1980s, this was issued on the small Far End label,
manufactured and distributed by Spartan Records.
Little is known about the record, but it is believed
to have been produced as a promotional item for the
Weston-Super-Mare tourist board (or whatever their official
title was at the time). The single came in a picture
sleeve (see above) with a cartoon showing a typical
seaside scene with donkeys on the beach, sandcastles,
the pier, and people on water slides coming out of what
looks like a giant pineapple (on second thoughts, perhaps
it's not that typical after all).
Printed on the reverse of the sleeve are the lyrics
to the song, which is a catchy ditty in praise of the
famous seaside resort. The B side of the single is an
instrumental version which sounds like the backing track
of the A side, giving the record owner the chance to
sing along in their own karaoke version using the supplied
lyrics.
