Ian Hunter cover versions:
- AND I HAVE LEARNED TO DREAM
Quick links: Dave Berry
"FOREVER" Holland 7" single
(Decca 26131)
"And I Have Learned" was the B-side to Dave Berry's cover of the Bee Gees "Forever", released in August 1967. The same coupling was also available in England, without picture sleeve (Decca F 12651) - click here to see the label.
The song is credited to Ian Hunter Patterson, and was one of several songs Ian wrote under contract with the publishing houses Francis, Day and Hunter (no relations), and Peer Music during 1967/68.
Dave Berry's version was directed by Keith Mansfield and produced by Mike Smith. Berry used sessions musicians such as Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, Big Jim Sullivan and Bobby Graham extensively, but I don't know if they play on this single. Anyone?
