Titfield Thunderbolt released this on side A of a 7" 33 rpm record that looked like a 45.

I began playing and recording with Titfield Thunderbolt in Richmond VA in late 1969 as Stymie the Hermit, under the Artifacts "umbrella" label, and after moving to the DC area, began recording with Bomis Prendin in 1978, as Corvus Crorson. Just celebrated 33 years of near anonymity. Check out our videos on Youtube posted by CrorsonVideo, and our FaceBook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bomis-Prendin/107438909290725
