# 567 V2 - Gee Whizz It's You

Side a: Gee Whizz It's You

Side b: Face In The Crowd

UK 1980

The track on the a-side is a cover of a Cliff Richard and the Shadows song while the b-side is a self-penned number. The story goes that the band was very unhappy with this record, bought the most of the records back and destroyed them all. Only a few records survived. Unconfirmed press quantity was 50. The recordings here are a bit unusual sounding, but not really bad. Sadly i haven't a proper cover. I hope you liked it like i do!
