This recording was championed by Peter Hook of Joy Division / New Order, who features (uncredited as our recording, but we don't mind) this on his My Space page where it has around 20,000 plays on this page alone. A snippet was also played on BBC Radio 5 Live as he was introduced for interview on the day he released his book 'Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division'.

One of three songs recorded in Liverpool that became known as the 'Stonier Cave Sessions', this is the song I call a "traditional Manchester folk song".
