Background
The song is a track from the second album by Chas & Dave, which was recorded at Roundhouse Studios on Chalk Farm Road, London in 1977.[2]
According to Chas Hodges, Simon Bates of BBC Radio 1 played the track "Strummin'" from the album and said that he would make the song record of the week if Chas & Dave had released it a single, and so it was released as a single.[2] The song would become their first song by Chas & Dave to reach the chart at number 52.[3][4]
