Only Forever c/w Maybe was on FB 2545. I Hear A Rhapsody on Columbia FB 2666 was coupled with Love in a Misty Lane. This Is Worth Fighting For Columbia FB 2795 - seems dubious. Perhaps it was a cancelled release, given that the catalogue number was allocated to something else? Safe In My Arms Columbia FB 2421 - I can't find any evidence of this. I wonder what the CLPGS book has for that number? We'll Go Smiling Along Columbia FB 2486 - coupled with Love Stay in My Heart. I wonder how you came across Percy Dickens' bits of paper! Many years ago I was a proof reader for Colin Larkins Encyclopedia of Popular Music as well as doing some correction work for Guinness Publications like The Book Of Hit Singles....There was a huge amount of stuff that Steve Waters team were going through and we used to term it as "Percy's Bits Of Paper"
