A
re-issue of the band's two most commercially successful
singles back-to-back on the HMV label. I have no idea
how this came about, but as a guess, once EMI dropped
The Wurzels, HMV signed them up on a deal to release
one single with promises for more on the back of that
success. Sadly the success didn't materialise, and The
Wurzels HMV career stalled at the starting grid.
This
was probably the only record that EMI employee Bob Barratt
produced (albeit retrospectively) for their rivals HMV!
