I did, in my younger days, actually have all the vinyls, which I obtained
after they stopped chipping them on blocks of stone LOL. They were
actually taken from the original vinyls but not by me. Anyway, I am glad
that you enjoyed some of them. Had I known you would have enjoyed them so
much I would have posted a second version with me singing them in the old
tin bath in front of the fire, with the coals tumbling into the hearth
and slowly setting fire to the home made pegged rug. LOL.
