It sounds to me like this is an adaptation of Clara Ward and the Ward Singers 'Gonna build a mountain' on Tuba, from 1965. Similar kind of hook and lyrics, but Mr Capree has added his own embellishments. So on the originality stakes, it doesn't rate that high, from what I can see.....but as far as I'm concerned, I'd love to own a copy. Had a chance a while back, and scuppered it. I've heard better dynamic records, but there's something about this tune that creeps inside your noggin and gets the toes tapping......fab 45, really.
