Comments:

The fourth release of Decca material from the fan club label. As with the other singles in the series it remained core material until 2007 for those brief seconds of chater not previously copied until a the needle drop expert Dr Ebbetts located a prime set and made an excellent transfer on his new Decca release The Decca Audition.

Alternate Versions

Joe Pope printed in his fanzine that there were fakes being sold of his titles as have other authors. There appear to be three distinct versions using different stampers and copied artwork. Version #3 is by far the most common with its darker fuzzy artwork and pink labels.
