Wonderful version from the Corries! My personal fave, apart from the original, is the Furies'. I heard the ISB for the first time when I was on holiday - with my parents - in a caravan on the Yorkshire coast in 1967. The transistor radio began to play Hedgehog Song. As soon as I came home I bought the album. Of course, the fortune I had amassed from my paper round allowed me such luxuries. Then I wanted to delve deeper. Their first album was only available as a stereo USA import. Who the hell had stereo? I bought it. And have sung October song ever since. No prizes for guessing when I was born.
