Side 2

1. I Am A Cider Drinker

Producer: Bob Barratt

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!
