Casey Jones And The Governors - Don’t Ha Ha (1997)












Guess who booked The Beatles for his support act? Guess who had Eric Clapton in his band on lead guitar? Guess who had a smash hit in Germany and could go “Ha, Ha” to the world? Yep - Casey Jones - that’s who! So who was this mysterious Casey Jones? None other than Brian Casser, leader singer of Cass & The Casanovas, first of the Merseybeat groups. He was also the leader of Casey Jones & The Engineers, one of the original British R&B revival groups. And he was the same Casey Jones who led The Governors to fame in Germany in the late sixties.  from the liner notes
This was Casey Jones & The Governors debut album released on the Golden 12 label in 1964.
