Description
Mega rare 1980 withdrawn UK 45 on Ze Records produced by August Darnell, in rare picture sleeve! when Peggy Lee first released this song she sang of falling in love for the first time and her father taking her to the circus. BUT when Cristina a New York socialite, recorded an uptempo version in 1980 she sang instead of going to her first disco in NY where 'boys with dyed hair and spandex T Shirts were dancing with each other', and of her boyfriend who 'beat me black and blue'. It was NOT how Lieber & Stoller, the writers of the song, had intended it to be changed, surely they also disapproved of lines 'why doesn't she just slit her throat and shut up' and 'let's just break out the ludes and have a ball'. So Leiber & stoller didn't allow her to release it, and only a handful of copies were pressed in the UK and sent out to Radio Stations.
This record was withdrawn and deleted on the day of release, the official 7" release is actually rarer than the Radio Station promotional copies.
This is hard to find and much sought after.
I remember this being played every week on the Ann Nightingale Sunday night radio show in the early 1980's.
Now the record details.
