Patrik Fitzgerald - Improve Myself 7'' (1979)

This one is quite hard to get hold of. This was Patrik's 5th 7'' single. In my humble opinion,not as excellent as the previous four he put out but that doesn't mean its not very good. Everything Patrik puts out is good!

The B sides are actually better than the A side here. The Bingo Crowd you all know and PF was once on British TV doing this number (was it Revolver or the OGWT - I can't remember?) My New Family unlike the first 2 tracks was not on any other Fitzgerald album including his very Best Of Album so that in itself makes this one well worth a download. Note,this version of Improve Myself is also different to the one of on Patrik's Very Best Of Album (Thanks for spotting that one Jerome)

Patrik played Bingo Crowd on Revolver.The footage used to be on Youtube a few years ago but it was deleted and I've been looking for this song ever since. Also I had never heard this version of Improve Myself.

Thank you very much.

Your right Jerome. It was Revolver. Also well spotted on it being a different version of Improve Myself than is on the Best Of Album.
