Release
Date: 1969
Adge's
fourth album Carry On Cutler! was another live
album offering a mix of original Cutler compositions
mixed with other material. It was recorded
at the Webbington Country Club - where
the previous album Cutler Of The West was recorded
- with 'additional recording' at the White Buck Inn,
Burley in Hampshire. The resulting album is made
to appear as if it were recorded at a single live session,
although clearly this is not the case.
New
boy Tony 'Gaffer' Baylis has now replaced Henry Davis
in the band, but Davis' input remains as he resurrects
his role as musical director (as he was on Carry
On Cutler!). The album is also the first with a
drummer - in this case, two drummers, presumably used
at the different recording sessions. The result is an
albums with some
good moments and some great versions of Adge's best-loved
songs.
Band
line-up: Adge
Cutler (vocals),
Reg Quantrill (banjo and guitar), Tommy Banner
(accordion and piano) and Tony
Baylis (tuba and bass).

Drink Up Thy Zider was not performed by
Adge Cutler & The Wurzels, but was played as the
lads came on-stage by the Webbington house band.
Singles
No
singles were taken from the album, although the 1968
single Don't
Tell I, Tell 'Ee and especially the b-side
Faggots Is The Stuff are thought to have been
recorded at the same time.
The
1968 single release of Up
The Clump has a drummer playing, and is obviously
recorded at a different (probably later) recording session.
The b-side Aloha, Severn Beach is definitely
a later recording.

Recording
Sessions
The
recording of this album remains a bit of an enigma. The front
cover states that it was recorded live at the Webbington
Country Club, where the previous album Cutler
Of The West was recorded. However, as the back cover makes
clear, this is only partly true. Some of the tracks were recorded
at the White Buck Inn, Burley in Hampshire but
the cover does not state which tracks were recorded at which
venue.
In
saying that, there are two drummers credited on the album
sleeve - Eddie
Clayton and Douggie Wright. Douggie, listed second,
only appears on three tracks: Down On The Farm, The
Chewton Mendip Love-In and Saturday Night At The
Crown. I think it can be reasonably asumed then, that
Eddie played drums at the main recording session at the Webbington,
and Douggie was the drummer as the secondary recording session
at the White Buck. Thus we can make an educated guess at which
tracks were recorded where.
Zider
Ed says: 'To add the the confusion, the tracks All Over
Mendip and Aloha, Severn Beach are dated
on the album as having been recorded in 1967 and 1968 respectively
- if these dates are correct, it would imply that the album
was compiled from various takes and cobbled together.'
I have been unable to find where he gets this from, as there
are no other recording dates on the album sleeves.
