KOSMO's VINYL of the Week: This week we're back across the Atlantic Ocean to post 'austerity' Britain for the Billy Cotton Band's version of "I've Got A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts"... "Not sure when this was recorded but possibly in 1945, 1950 at the latest. The Billy Cotton Band Show was still on the radio when I was a nipper in the early 1960s and it was on there I would have first heard this. You've got to be a mighty coldhearted person to listen and not smile. The spoken part has well and truly dated, but "roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch'" is as good as ever!" - KV
