A great trek to find the man

A rumour reached town one day that there was a man over the hills who had the record “Searchin’” by The Coasters. Colin, the drummer with John’s skiffle group, knew him and so there was a great trek to find the man, and indeed we found him. And relieved him of it. It was too big a responsibility for him to keep. — Paul McCartney
