Offered for auction is an original 1971 UK pressing of Benny Hill – Ernie (The Fastest Milkman In The West), released by Columbia Records.
One of the most famous novelty records ever released in Britain, Ernie (The Fastest Milkman In The West) became a huge Christmas No. 1 hit in 1971. Written and performed by legendary comedian Benny Hill, the song tells the humorous tale of a heroic milkman in a tongue-in-cheek country and western style, packed with witty lyrics and memorable storytelling. Featuring backing vocals by The Ladybirds, it remains one of the best-loved comedy singles of the era.
The B-side, Ting-A-Ling-A-Loo, continues Benny Hill's trademark blend of comedy and music, making this original UK Columbia pressing a wonderful collectible for fans of British television, comedy records and novelty songs.
An excellent addition to any collection of Benny Hill, Comedy Records, Novelty Songs, British Pop, Stage & Screen, Columbia Records, Collectible Vinyl, 7" Singles, and Original UK Pressings.
