This was a studio venture by Pete Waterman. The story goes, he’d heard an engineer singing “good-bye-ee” at a Stevenson’s Rocket session. Later, while he was having his hair cut he came up with the idea of doing a version. This he did with the assistance of Peter Shelley and Stevenson’s rocket and it was a hit. There’s a rather funny photo of PW in full uniform and tin hat. I presume he must have appeared on Top of the Pops in that get-up. An album followed, and then PW carried on as A & R man for Magnet records and DJing at Mr George’s.
