G. Whizzard was owned by Douglas Maxwell. Its main line of business was book publishing; records on the G. Whizzard label - there seem to have been two of them - were given away with books, rather than sold. The books in question were 'Farmer Fisher' and 'Farmer Fisher's Russian Holiday', both of which were by author Jonathon Coudrille, who supplied a couple of songs to go with each; the single pictured above, 'Farmer Fisher' (WHIZZO-100; 1975) came with the 'Farmer Fisher' book. It has the same song on both sides, but on each side it is treated differently: the 'A' is folkish with effects, the 'B' is Poppier with a hint of funk. The lyrics, which mention such things as running-boards and sedans, sound American. Presumably the single which accompanied the 'Russian Holiday' book was WHIZZO-101. Thanks to Bob Mayhead for bringing the label to my attention.
