Reissue, originally released in 1970 as a 7". After performing together in the skiffle-oriented band Good Earth, singer-songwriter Ray Dorset, and keyboardist Colin Earl formed Mungo Jerry, whose breakthrough single, "In The Summertime," remains a stone-cold anthem of the early 1970s. With Paul King on banjo and jug, Mike Cole on string bass, Earl on ragtime piano and with Dorset's humorous vocals upfront, "In The Summertime" was skiffle-tinged rock at its best. The reissue of this uncommon 12" also features Dorset's "Mighty Man," with King's kazoo and harp, as well as a great cover of Woodie Guthrie's "Dust Pneumonia Blues." A must-have! Licensed by BMG.
