By 1970 Winstone had reduced his band to an eight piece, so additional session men were brough in for these Radio 1/2 recordings, including Stan Roderick, Freddy Staff, Duncan Campbell, Harry Roche, Jimmy Wilson, Ted Barker, Henry Mackenzie & Geoff Alderson.

Wow, another lovely Winstone radio classic. The mystery singer, I think is Dick James. He sang with Winstone at the Butlins reunion at.the Albert Hall in 1954. He had a minor hit with Unchained Melody, but he was best known for the Ballard of Davy Crockett.
I am loving you are doing this Kev. Do you have anymore Winstone...maybe with Dick Haymes or Dickie Valentine. This is very nostalgic to me. Eric's final BBC broadcasts before he left us. Thanks again.
