Silver dealer Alastair Dickenson had a blast from the past when he flicked through the pages of ATG recently.
A song that he recorded with friends while at school in the late 1960s was offered as a record at Stroud Auction Rooms’ February 7-8 sale and took pride of place in a pre-sale advert.
The record was produced in 1968 when Dickenson was 17. With three Epsom school pals – including Willem Middlemiss, now a steam engine consultant at auction house Cheffins – the band, called Pneumania, recorded the ‘45 on the Oak label with a song called I can see your face which was written by lead singer Middlemiss.
