Apparently Mandy Rice-Davies recorded an EP in 1964 which featured a cover version of " You got what it takes" on the Ember
Label.

Is this what they call "lowering the tone"?

Eric
Thanks for that
..very interesting re those Fool Britannia satirical shows.
I'm reading a few books.on the Profumo Affair at present, including "Honeytrap"....how little we mere members of the public knew ( indeed know) what really goes on.

Re Mandy, I love her quote "my life has been one slow descent into respectability"

I've just learned that Miss X is Lionel Blair's sister, Joyce Blair.

I recently heard the Christine track by Miss X...can't recall where exactly but I've been revisting the affair recently...youtube, TV etc.
I was 8 at the time...my only memory was of young women getting in and out of taxis.
