Days Of Pearly Spencer written by David McWilliams in 1967.

Mike Leander produced the single giving it the sweeping orchestral arrangement
Some of McWilliams' vocals were recorded using a telephone line from a phone box near the studio, generating a low-tech effect, and giving the song a 'strange "phoned-in" chorus'. The record was originally released in October 1967 as the B-side of "Harlem Lady", but "Days of Pearly Spencer" received considerable exposure on Radio Caroline, of which Solomon was an executive, and in adverts in the UK music press. Double-page adverts were taken out in all the major music newspapers and the New Musical Express front page featured it, calling it "the single that will blow your mind" and the accompanying album, David McWilliams, "the album that will change the course of music". Adverts for it were plastered everywhere, and in 2012 Stuart Bailie of Radio Ulster remarked that "there was no getting away from David McWilliams". Adverts for the song even appeared on double-decker buses even as McWilliams "was walking around London without the pocket money to get on one of those buses". and one publication put the price of all promotion costs at close to £20,000 (equivalent to £330,000 in 2015).[wiki]
