Kenny Lynch had pedigree - he was the only British songwriter to work in the Brill Building, (according to Simon Napier-Bell).

When desperately reaching around in my feeble mind for a contribution, all that came to me was that Gary Linekar once had a 147 break in snooker.

Their song Jerusalem was apparently written by William Blake.

He didn´t write any big hits, but when that actually-never-really-good drummer started to write song in the late sixties they were beautiful. Little Bird, Be Still, Be With Me, Forever, Slip On Through and that great rocker It´s About Time.

In later years, ravaged by fags and booze, he knocked out a few ditties you'd never expect him to have penned; he displayed self-deprecatory black humour with "Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette", memorably recorded by Phil Harris amongst others, and Johnny and the Hurricanes' "Red River Rock" is an ironic commentary on his decision to join the Communist Party.

So... does history tell us who the third cover was by, or did future quiz compilers stop making notes after Duffy?

On a similar theme, I've occasionally seen it written that Peter Blake only designed three LP{ sleeves during the 60s. I know two of them (Fabs & P*****gle) - what was the third?

Ignore the naff video, excuse the plug for The Burnley Building Society - they released it after all - this toetapper is by George Chandler. Lyrics by Salman Rushdie.
