Is there any chance anyone here has a copy of Casey Jones/Engineers single "ONE WAY TICKET"? If so, could you post a pic of the label, I've never seen one. I do know that Clapton doesn't play on it, but Brian Griffiths out of The Big Three does.

Cass sent me a postcard last year, but he's not on the internet, doesn't have a computer and hasn't replied to the letters I've sent him, apart from the postcard.
Brian Casser is also known as Casey Jones and Casey Valance. He originally led one of the top Liverpool groups, Cass & the Cassanovas, from December 1959 to December 1960.
     During their relatively short span, Cass & the Cassanovas were regarded by many locally as Liverpool

Another tidbit of info that I know is that Dave McCumiskey later changed his name to Dave Burgess and recorded and toured as a member of The Liverpool Five (although none of the Five were in fact FROM Liverpool).
Again I appeal to the board that if you can (or know anyone who can) post a pic of the label of the Jones/Engineers "ONE WAY TICKET" single, it would be much appreciated.
