Notes: Another collection of songs in a wide range of styles - the usual Lancashire humour (including a cracking version of the old Gracie Fields number Fred Fannakapan), pop (Butterflies & Songbirds), nostalgia (Boozer's Lament) and the curious Doctor Duck And Sailor Sam, which sounds as if it could be a children's song, or maybe has some deeper meaning...? The album showed the band's name on the front cover as 5 Penny Piece (with the numeric 5) for the first time, in what seemed to be a kind of logo to be used for the next few albums.
