MY FORTY FIVE * ERIC MORRIS * BLUE BEAT 74 * UK

My Forty Five is a an odd little story about a man and his gun (Colt Forty Five?) though the cut is more of an instrumental than a vocal. This early Prince Buster production has a Bluesy laid back sound that was just right for late, late night party smooching.
