  • King Truman - Like A Gun

Side B - Track Listing

  • King Truman - Like A Gun (Radio Edit Mix)

The story is that Paul Weller recorded  "Like A Gun" while still under contract with Polydor, so released the single under the psuedonym "King Truman".  The record company got wind of this and forced the withdrawal and recall of the single on the day of release.  It is believed a maximum of 300 ever 'escaped' 

Any Weller collector knows just how rare this little beauty is!!!!

A piece of Weller history..... and no reserve price.......
