  East of Eden ! Ah yes, that'll be 'Jig-a Jig ' then.
  I fear none of the spiral centred 45's survived, but I am calling in 
South
London Mountain Rescue Team to back up an attempt on my loft next week,

  Roy Wood recorded 'California Man' and 'Tonight' on Harvest, but I reckon
Gerard singing 'I Wish it Could be Christmas Every Day ' would be, well, I
don't know.
  Hilarious ?
