We found this album in a garage sale back in 2009 with no cover so was a bit of a mystery. I asked all my music contacts and posted what I'd found on the Midoztouch forum with no contact back from anyone about the album. I was starting to think it was someone else with Ol' 55's name on the label, until one day we received an email for a guy called Rod Crundwell telling us that it was for real and a story about the album. Then after a computer crash and losing all my emails we lost contact with Rod and lost all the info he'd given us. Then earlier this year we found Rod again on Facebook. Thanks now to Rod, we have the art work and the info again to share with you all.
Here to download is this very rare Ol' 55 album produced by Jim Morley. Again thanks to Rod Crundwell for all his help with this recording and info. Don't forget to check out Rod with Men With Day Jobs @ http://www.backpocketrecords.com/MenWithDayJobs/MenWithDayJobs.htm

What a great find Mr & Mrs Ozzie - and well done on the great detective work.
A rare find indeed and thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing this rare album. I didn't know it existed until now.
Many thanks!!! JohnG
Hi, I'm looking forward to hearing this album after I download it. Do you know if there are any recordings of The Hip Replacements, the band that Geoff was lead vocalist for before his death?
The band includes of Paul McCann, Rockpile Jones (both original Ol'55/Fanis members) among others.
Also do you have any idea if there is anywhere a video of Geoff singing "Goodnight Sweetheart."?
A huge thanks guys for passing my info over to Rod Crundwell when I couldn't download the "shoulda been here yesterday" album off your site. Rod contacted me and by strange coincidence he played at the "on the prowl" Lizottes gig at Kincumber last night ( which I had already pre-purchased before the email)and gave me the copy of it. a HUGE shout goes out to Rod for making my 50th Birthday.....one rocking one.
