Good spot from Jim Dixon. As Large As Life In The Harem appears to have been the B side of Hot Meat Pies, Saveloys and Trotters, which Chas 'n' Dave have covered, crediting it as Traditional.
Harem as sung by Chas 'n' Dave certainly sounds like a Harry Champion song.
Alas one can't buy the individual track from Windyridge to check for certain if it's the same song, you have to buy the whole album.
