The Sun Has Got His Hat On

Tuesday, 21 March 2006

This was, despite rumours to the contrary, NOT the first NEMO release. That was my version of Baby You've Been On My Mind (which I'll put up on here in due course). This was a cover of an old song suggested by my (still) friend Bernie Andrews, one of the great BBC Radio producers (very responsible for John Peel's career). I had to remove the now offensive word NIGGERS and replace it with the 1972 acceptable NEGROS. I've lost my copy of the followup - Who's Been Polishing The Sun? Anyone got a copy? This was a HUGE turntable hit but never charted. Great fun, I reckon, and people are often surprised it was one of mine!
