Thanks for posting! Way, way back in the 60s, we had the 78 of "It's In The Book" / "Grandma's Lyesoap". But those were the only 2 tracks I ever heard by this guy. (I think the 78 got cracked... but, if memory serves, decades later, I found both sides on a CD.) Never heard this one before. One more reason I love TH-cam!
I brought a 78 of It's In The Book for my mum's birthday 15 years ago. I kept in a safe place ready to present it to my mum on the day of her birthday. When I come to remove from my LP collection. A stack of my LP's slipped forward and broke the 78 in 3 pieces. I wept. As my mum wanted another copy so bad as her copy was so badly worn to play. Where as the copy I bought was mint and never seen a needle. It did cost me a pretty packet. The cost did not bother me that much. It was the fact I felt so proud that I managed to find a mint copy and kept it for 5 months before my mum's birthday and on the day I broke it. I was never able to find another copy on 78 again.
thanks for the great memories of my younger days. I have been trying to these great old comedy cuts for years. thank -you hayley1963 for them
Yep, remember this one! Lol! The other one was on the Flip side. Enjoyed it then, and today, still enjoy it! LMAO!

Thank you Hayley so much! Haven't heard this for 55 years (along with "It's in the Book"). But what was on the other side of this? My memory fails me!
@Quarkman0 It was Clap Your Hands along with Proud New Father on the flip side of It's in the Book.
Well done Hayley!! A nice Christmas present!

Oh yes, thank you! I never really liked that side, perhaps that's why I couldn't remember it!
