Ready Steady Goa is a relative obscurity from Four Lads Who Shook The Wirral in which Nigel justifiably drops scorn on students heading eastwards for spiritual enlightenment. Thanks to Peter and to Fredorrarci, who adds: “I have a feeling that there is a heavily-disguised vocal track in the instrumental break, but if anyone deciphers it they deserve to have a Nobel Prize instituted especially for them”

    I’ve tried a few times to make out that buried vocal part. I always took it as a reference to those heavily distorted/buried vocals you sometimes get on psychedelic records – ones that are only supposed to be decipherable if you’re on acid, and then probably wrongly.

    I’d love to know what the lyrics are.

    “Dear Prudence and fellow students” ?
