Thread Name: Lyr Req: Where's Ta Bin (Harry Boardman)
Subject: RE: Info: Where's ta bin Dick-sung by Harry Boardman
The original cassette that this song was recorded on has been remastered by Chris Harvey of Cock Robin Music and is available from me for £8 - please see my website for more details HERE. Lesley Boardman told me that Harry preferred the title "Personal Choice" rather than "Personal Selection" which was the name of the tape - don't ask me why it wasn't called Personal Choice in the first place - cock-up on the communication front maybe!

The song is titled "Where's ta bin?" and not to be confused with "I'll tell thi Dick" - a song written by Mike Lyddiard which is on the same recording.

The Oldham Tinkers recorded the version of this, mentioned above, as part of a medley of kids's songs or street songs that they put together for several of their LPs.

Cheers
Mark
