"Nostalgic toilet" b/w "116A Queensway" by Cuby + Blizzards, Philips JF 334 650 (1968)

This was a strange single. It crept into the lower regions of the Dutch Top 40, probably on the strength of the B-side. It seems Alexis Korner lived at 116A Queensway in the Bayswater area in London, but when I went there in 1972 he didn't or at least: not anymore. The A-side had a melody I can't even remember up until this day. But Queensway had great guitar work from Eelco Gelling, the main attraction of C+B. Last thing the band recorded with Herman Brood on piano until his return for the Farewell concerts in 1973 and 1974.
