I have this record, but without a picture sleeve (just a plain company one). According to 'Record Collector' magazine: before 1978, picture sleeves on 7" singles/45s were the exception rather than the rule. So presumably this record was released during a 'transitional' period, with some copies having a picture sleeve and others not.

Both sides are annoyingly catchy, but thank God it didn't chart! The thought of Marcus, Gary, Jenny, Michele (and Toddy) miming to it on Top of the Pops, backed-up by the Corona Stage School Choir, is a rather disturbing one... (No offence, Gary!)

:lol:

It's a damn sight better than most of the rubbish that gets into Eurovision, especially these days... Did you see our entry this year?! No wonder we did atrociously (as usual)!!!
