reading in another thread about the difficulty
of establishing a 'definitive' version of a trad song..??

Well my wife insists there is only one version of
"SOLDIER, SOLDIER, WILL YOU MARRY ME" that matters..

and thats the one she used to hear regularly
on early - mid 1960's BBC kids radio shows..

and she wont let me rest until i get it for her..

searched.. downloaded..
lyrics.. midi files..mp3s

even bought her a recent Natalie Merchant CD
with a well 'PJ Harvied' gritty rock style version..[ i liked it ]
but none of them are good enough..

because none were the version she insists she remembers
from when she was a toddler..

so please help..
does anyone know precisely which recorded version
got most airplay on BBC radio way back then..??

thanks...
