THE COCKNEY JESTER
A DIY label, apparently
a one-off. A single offering 'Knees Up Mother Brown' b/w 'Five Foot
Two, Eyes Of Blue' by Pearly Steve Patten appears to have been The Cockney
Jester's only release; I would guess that Steve Patten worked under the name of
'The Cockney Jester', but Google is silent on the subject. His
name did appear on at least one other disc: he wrote a song called
'It's A Good Life', which was recorded by Vince Collins and issued on
Marlin Records (q.v.). As can be seen from the label, his
own single had a catalogue number of CJ/SP-1 and was made at Beck Studios
in 1978. Apparently the songs on it are in the 'Chas & Dave' area, as
you might expect. Thanks to Steve Hill for bringing the label to my
attention and for providing the scan.
