Witson Green - Call Me A Dreamer 7" (1982)
















I picked up this record in a Camden charity shop in 2008. The fact it's on the infamous SRT Label makes it interesting, and is probably why a Japanese collector saw fit to pay me £10.50 for it. It's a bit MOR for my liking, but I only know of one other copy in the world. The internet hasn't thrown anything up, so again, if anyone knows anything about this record, or if you were in the band, please get in touch.

The composer appears to be A. James

Side One:

Call Me A Dreamer

Side Two:

All Day in Love

I cleaned it up a bit using Audacity. Have a listen and please feel free to comment.

  1. Neither MORdant or MORose, rather a MORass of
    mediocrity. MORibund it maybe but it has a very slight charm. No MORe (I'll stop doing that now)than to be expected of a lot of this type of independently released stuff but I applaud you for buying it and putting it up for all to hear, and also making a profit. You are a true scavenger.

  3. I know of more copies - my dad has a garage full of them. His band tried to break into the charts and failed big time. interesting that you found a copy in Camden, they only circulated the records in Northampton!

  7. Bradders unfortunately I was a member of this band and my wife was the lead singer, my brother in law on bass and two friends on drums and keyboard. Sounds very amateurish and dated now.
