Billy's brother, Albie Wycherley, has produced a four-track CD, I Never Met Colette, of which the title song is a tribute.
It can be bought by mail order from Ozit Morpheus
Records, PO Box 116, Northwich, Cheshire, CW9 5UG for BP6.99 including post and packing to UK addresses.
(Ozit Morpheus Records is operated by Recordcore Deeply Vale Recordrange)
Frankie Connor, who wrote the songs on the CD and holds the copyright, has given me permission to make the title track available in RealAudio. To hear it, click

The last track is I Know I've Got A Heart. As soon as the piano strikes up in the intro, I think: In Thoughts Of You. And it doesn't disappoint - this is one big number.
Frankie is a very talented songwriter, Albie is a heck of a performer, and this is a CD that every Fury fan should have in their collection. Write that cheque and put it in the post to
Leonard Hewitt.
Thanks to Geoff Howlett,
we now also have a fascinating track,
Singing The
Blues, by Albie as Jason Eddie. This was a Joe Meek production. A copy of the 45 in near-mint condition is worth
BP100. Terry Wilson, in Toronto, Canada, has supplied the flip side, True To
You.
Albie appears at the Olympia Theatre, Liverpool, on October 20, supported by Mike Berry and the Outlaws, Colin Paul and the Persuaders, Tommy Bruce, Terry Dene, Wee Willie Harris, and yet more great acts. Tickets are
BP10 from Billy Fury Ltd, PO Box 116, Northwich, Cheshire, CW9 5UG. To see the poster, click

Albie appeared at Worcester Park Club, Malden Terrace, Worcester Park,
Surrey, on August 4. For Ann Clark's pictures and review of the show, click
