the brilliant publisher Route posted this on their Facebook page the other day and it reminded me I bought this as a picture disc EP  (ask your Grandad!) from Charly Records when I was but a kid precociously fascinated by blues music from Big Bill Broonzy, Leadbelly and others. This song has stick with me all my working life . . . . . here's a message to everyone I ever worked for!!!
