KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
Well this week we're still in London for Max Wall's "Dream Tobacco" released on Stiff Records in 1977... "In 1977, Stiff released Max Wall's version of an up-to-then unrecorded Ian Dury song, "England's Glory", produced by Dave Edmunds. "Dream Tobacco" was the b-side and, I suspect, written many years earlier by Max, who made his professional debut in Music Hall (British vaudeville) at age 14 in 1922. I had the privilege of being in Max's company only once, when I failed in my assigned task to keep him sober for his opening slot at Hammersmith Odeon." - KV (Forgot to mention that it's a Humphrey Ocean drawing of Max on that Barney Bubbles designed cover)
