PERSIAN CAT * TOMMY McCOOK AND THE SUPERSONICS * TREASURE ISLE 7017 * UK
As if it wasn't good enough getting Once A Man on this record it also gave us this beautiful instrumental from the great Tommy McCook on the other side. I'm not sure if the title of this song refers to the longhaired species of feline known as the Persian - see below. Persian cats were introduced into Europe during the sixteenth century from Turkey, Persia (now Iran) and neighboring countries.
