Deram DM 118 was Cat Steven's follow up to his huge hit "Mathew and Son" and it was a step backwards, frankly. "I'm Gonna Get Me A Gun". Not sure what he was thinking with these lyrics in the UK in 1967. I love early Cat so he gets a bye for this atrocious record (sorta). Released in March of 67, it did spend 5 weeks in the charts. Has the typical Mike Hurst production that Deram used for all of Cat's early records. This is taken from the June 24th airing of the German show "Beat Club". He's introduced by Dave Lee Travis, a English presenter who could jump from German to English. I always had a crush on his co-presenter, Ushci Nerke!
