Professor Wurzel's Disc Notes:
The
Wurzels Are Scrumptious album was the first album produced
by The Wurzels following Adge Cutler's untimely death in
1974. The ‘live' sequences were recorded in a north Devon
holiday camp, the remainder in the EMI Studios. One of the
tracks, I'm The Captain Of The Dredger, was re-discovered
in 2007 on a 45rpm 10" single acetate. It is dated
May 21 1975, a few weeks before the release of the album
from which it was taken. It was lifted straight from the
album with just the introduction removed - the playout and
applause is identical to the album track. It appears that
the
acetate shown above is the only existing copy of this single.
