EMI
Note NTS 160
Release
Date: November 1978
I'll
Never Get A Scrumpy Here was The Wurzels' fifth
and last true album for EMI - after this only compilations
were issued. It was recorded at Ashton Court Country
Club near Bristol in front of an invited audience consisting
of members of the Wurzels' Fan Club - a cunning move
to guarantee a good response!
The
album includes songs by each of the individual band
members - notably Pete Budd's hymn of praise to Mevagissey
- as well as a couple of typical Wurzel numbers - Funky
Farmyard and the parody The Tractor
Song. It also featured Tommy Banner's instrumental
tour de force Somerset Jigolo, a version
of which is still a popular part of their live sets
today.
