I first heard the song in the sixties at my local club..then forgot about it untill I heard it on "the radio" in 1979..however show was a recording on a BBC record..and I dont know how old it was..I "liberated" the recording when they were being thrown out to make room for new shows, but unfortunately lost the dammed thing about 4 years later.. I do remember Mike harding singing both King Cotton and Andrew Rose on the show...and he was not the live guest..from this I assumed that he had recorded it at some stage..but have never been able to find any reference to it.. I have heard the same by MacColl..trouble is..I cant remember where or when either...its a failure of age..the little grey cells start to desintigrate and leaves us asking people on Mudcat for help...ahh well we cannot win them all..
