Broadcaster turned record company boss Adrian Goldberg is in the mood to celebrate the new football season by re-releasing a classic calypso in honour of the club’s three black playing pioneers, Cyrille Regis, Brendon Batson and Laurie Cunningham.

The song, ‘West Bromwich Albion’, was recorded in 1979 at the behest of lifelong Baggies fan and music impresario Jim Simpson, who’d been approached by Black Country songwriters, Larry Rushton and Jerry Cash, who wanted to celebrate the team’s dashing style.

Jim drafted in a team of local musical luminaries, including drummer Bob Lamb - later UB40’s producer. Vocals were provided by ‘Ray King’ aka Vibert Cornwall, who settled in the West Midlands after growing up in St Vincent. He passed away last month after a lifetime serving his local community in Coventry, where he helped inspire the Two Tone movement.

The song comes a limited edition CD via Goldberg’s record label Jenny’s Feather Factory.
