Thanks to fellow travellers over at WFMU's Beware of the Blog (original link here), I've found a rip of what might be Tony Weston's first LP, despite the swansong-sounding title 'I'd Do It All Again'. I don't actually have a copy of the LP, so all of this post is borrowed from the efforts of others, but here is another taster of the flamboyant Bournemouth showman. RIP Tony!

And, from a now-deleted Wikipedia entry:

Liberace: "TONY, SINGS and LIVES every word, when performing 'My Way'"
Tony has been also referred to as "Mr. Vitality", "Mr. Fabulous" and "Mr. Entertainment".
Tony Weston has recorded two albums on the Raven Records label. The first album is I'd do it all again' featuring Derek Healey, Barry Robinson, Bill Jackman, Pete Warner, Brian Dee, Cedric West, Brian Short, Paul Brodie and Ian Simpson.
