Setting aside whether I should have parted with £1.49 for this (especially as at some previous time it had been sold for 19p)…I wonder what this object is about. Who was responsible for it and why? Was it on the way to becoming something other than useless when the process was interrupted? And w
hy was B. A. Robertson anyway?

I remember BA Robertson … he was a hits merchant of sorts and the wiki entry confirms the Glasgow-born bard had a string of odd hits! Surely you remember this one, ‘Bang Bang’? “Bang Bang the mighty fall…” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRJpBpvr-ZY
A touch of “Carry On”/cheery chappy but a very catchy tune, indeed! One to populate a serious evening of listening, without a doubt – if a playable copy.
Oh, dear – no picture sleeve and a wrecked copy!

I have a suspicion that my ‘wrecked copy’ is a good deal more intriguing than a near mint version…I do remember Mr Robertson and believe he had some involvement in a single by a (World Cup?) Scottish football team….’oh dear’ as my mother would have said.
One needs to closely, with an Akkadian dictionary perhaps, to find clues about those absences. Or await a signal from the Philae lander.
