Days Of Pearly Spencer - Paul Baker

[john davis]

Does anyone have any information on 'Days Of Pearly Spencer' by Paul Baker ?.
I have the extended version on a greek lp called 'Dynamite Maxi 88' on CBS from 1988.

It's a great Hi-NRG version of the David McWilliams (and later Marc Almond) classic.
He is American sounding to me,but i hope someone could shed somemore light on this brilliant track,and maybe the artist too.

I have a real nice Canadian 12" single of "Days of Pearly Specer" from 1978 by a group called Trademark. Very 70s Disco and Costandinos-like. I know this doesn't answer your question, but I couldn't resist as I like this song and I didn't know it was covered by someone beside Marc Almond.

I think the original of The Days Of Pearly Spencer is a mid 60's song by David MacWilliams.

It's a really great song and it has been sampled by Cerrone in Supernature

Has anyone heard anything yet about the track?

I've tried everywhere to get some info but i've got jack s**t so far !!!!.

It's always been one of my Hi-NRG favourites,just that i've never been bothered in finding out anything about it.

Oh well.........Keep trying i suppose !!!!!!
