The original Stiff Records 7" with full artwork.
If you ever manage to get hold of this, I would recommend that you do so. It's a fascinating insight, not only about the early days of Stiff, but also about growing up in Fifties/Sixties England. A fantastic book.
And who would not fall in love with this song having heard it just once? Ian Dury plays drums on the b side, and Eric goes into the whole story in the book.
This is another one I never get tired of.
