Never An Everyday Thing is such a good record. I remember in my dim and distant past Radio Luxembourg was playlisting it - or at least playing it regularly in 1970, and again I seem to recall a DJ saying that it was really Peter Lee Stirling.

Can anyone confirm/deny?

"Never An Everyday Thing" was originally written by Pete Shelley and Ben Finden for an Irish band called Grannies Intentions who had moved to the UK in 1967. Their version was released on Deram in 1968. 

It got a lot of airplay but failed to chart.

In 1969, it ended up on the B side of "Give Yourself A Ticket", recorded by Roeks Family, a Dutch band which included some members who were active on Radio Veronica.

In 1970, it was recorded by  a singer called John Bradford who took the name Eli Bonaparte, (what a great name!). 

John was from Wolverhampton, and I think the record was either produced or promoted by Larry Steinman, who worked on a lot of US radio stations under the name Larry Tremaine. He also was a member of the Sunrays (they had a US hit called "I Live For The Sun".

Eli  later led a band called T Ford & The Boneshakers, who did  two albums, one called "Just Keep It Up" - the other called "Rock Rattle & Roll".

He almost went on to Eurovision fame(?) in 1987 with a song called "What You Gonna Do" which finished fourth in tthe UK "Song For Europe".

As far as I know, he still lives in Wolverhampton.

Peter Lee Stirling, who later became Daniel Booneand was originally called Peter Green, was with a group called The Beachcombers, who became The Bruisers, who of course, backed Tommy Bruce. 

He is a great songwriter who has co-written with Barry Mason and many others, but he definitely was not Eli Bonaparte!

It is a great song - should have been huge.

In 1969, it ended up on the B side of "Give Yourself A Ticket", recorded by Roeks Family, a Dutch band which included some members who were active on Radio Veronica.

In 1970, it was recorded by  a singer called John Bradford who took the name Eli Bonaparte, (what a great name!). 

John was from Wolverhampton, and I think the record was either produced or promoted by Larry Steinman, who worked on a lot of US radio stations under the name Larry Tremaine. He also was a member of the Sunrays (they had a US hit called "I Live For The Sun".

Eli  later led a band called T Ford & The Boneshakers, who did  two albums, one called "Just Keep It Up" - the other called "Rock Rattle & Roll".

He almost went on to Eurovision fame(?) in 1987 with a song called "What You Gonna Do" which finished fourth in tthe UK "Song For Europe".

As far as I know, he still lives in Wolverhampton.

Peter Lee Stirling, who later became Daniel Booneand was originally called Peter Green, was with a group called The Beachcombers, who became The Bruisers, who of course, backed Tommy Bruce. 

He is a great songwriter who has co-written with Barry Mason and many others, but he definitely was not Eli Bonaparte!

It is a great song - should have been huge.

Eli  later led a band called T Ford & The Boneshakers, who did  two albums, one called "Just Keep It Up" - the other called "Rock Rattle & Roll".

He almost went on to Eurovision fame(?) in 1987 with a song called "What You Gonna Do" which finished fourth in tthe UK "Song For Europe".

As far as I know, he still lives in Wolverhampton.

Peter Lee Stirling, who later became Daniel Booneand was originally called Peter Green, was with a group called The Beachcombers, who became The Bruisers, who of course, backed Tommy Bruce. 

He is a great songwriter who has co-written with Barry Mason and many others, but he definitely was not Eli Bonaparte!

It is a great song - should have been huge.

"Never An Everyday Thing" was originally written by Pete Shelley and Ben Finden for an Irish band called Grannies Intentions who had moved to the UK in 1967. Their version was released on Deram in 1968. 

It got a lot of airplay but failed to chart.

In 1969, it ended up on the B side of "Give Yourself A Ticket", recorded by Roeks Family, a Dutch band which included some members who were active on Radio Veronica.

In 1970, it was recorded by  a singer called John Bradford who took the name Eli Bonaparte, (what a great name!). 

John was from Wolverhampton, and I think the record was either produced or promoted by Larry Steinman, who worked on a lot of US radio stations under the name Larry Tremaine. He also was a member of the Sunrays (they had a US hit called "I Live For The Sun".

Thanks for that. Of course, Wayne Fontana released it in '68 as well
