I just managed to buy an old vinyl of this song, by the aforementioned Brendan O'Dowda for the princely sum of 10p in a charity shop. It's an EP, remember them? It has "Abdul" and "The Oklahoma Rose" [P French] on one side, with "The Hoodoo" [Collison-French] and "That's why we're burying him" [P French} on the other side. It's a bit scratchy but it's nearly 40 years old, so who wouldn't be a bit worn after all that time. It's good nostalgic stuff......Giok
