McArthur Park - The Burtons / Wuthering heights - Jah Wurzel

As a big fan of Kate Bush, at some point I started collecting cover versions of Kate Bush songs. I acquired some of those tracks by swapping them with other Kate Bush fans, but every once in a while, I bought something. Like for instance this very vague e.p., released in 1979.

It features a version of 'McArthur park' by the Burtons on the A-side, but the B-side featured a version of 'Wuthering heights' as performed by Jah Wurzel. And who, pray, is Jah Wurzel? No idea - there are no references to him anywhere on the web.

My collection: 7" single no. 3052
Found: 1998
Cost: 5 guilders
Tracks: 'McArthur park' (The Burtons) / 'Wuthering heights' (Jah Wurzel)
