After my question regarding a UK recording of "I Can't Take No More" by Ted Wilson (given that it was written by Les Reed and Barry Mason), I've just found the following clip.

The data I've managed to find on it so far is:

JASON CORD & THE FIRST CHAPTER: "I Can't Take No More Of Your Lies (Les Reed, Barry Mason) Chapter 1 (CH 102).

Released 14 June 1968 (B-side to "I've Got My Eyes On You").

Could this be the original?

Definitely the original, I've been trying to find this out for a decade! Great work. See the producer, he was a member of Teardrop Explodes - so I thought, except the Teardrop Explodes guy was born in 1958 so he would have done this one when he was 10 years old.

And here's the man himself......

That guy was from Wolverhampton, I'm sure I read recently he was in a band and went solo, the Montanas or something like that

great detective work..its something i always wonderered also..the flip of ted wilson my aim is to please sounds like its gonna break into goodbye my love by the searchers to my ears too

Strange how the UK Jason Cord issue states the publishers as being Donna Music, yet the Ted Wilson lists the publishers as Leo Feist Music.

That said, just seen that Jason Cord was also given a US release on Chapter 1 (45-2901). Publisher also listed as Leo Feist Music on that one too.

I've had the Jason Cord in my pop collection for donkeys..Only ever played the Eyes side which is a dramatic orchestrated ballad....came out on the light green label.....I'm sure someone on RCA did it as well.

There's a UK copy on 'MusicStack' for £6.30, the seller had 2 copies, I've just bought one.

i`d buy a ted wilson for £6.30

He must be getting suspicious cos I bought one yesterday

Certainly cheaper than I thought they'd be on UK Pete! There's no UK copies on ebay (a couple of US). It may go higher now its been exposed. More MOD than Northern though.

Yeah def not Northern, I just bought it to put with my 60's curiosities - probably never play it

Stumbled across a Belgium copy today...on Chapter One complete with picture sleeve...as you do when digging in Tokyo for vinyl! Yet to find a Ted Wilson over here, mind!
