I've been spending my Wednesday evenings in the cellar of Camden pub watching a group of musicians entertain a loyal bunch of us with a mixture of Ska, Jazz and blues. I'm desperate to get my hands on a copy of one of the tunes they regularly play. As the title of this thread implies it's called Give Me Back My Pork Pie Hat and I'm almost certain it was written or at least performed by Laurel Aitken. My problem is that I can't find a copy of this song ANYWHERE. I've tried scouring the internet and reading the tracklisting for countless Laurel Aitken compilations and albums.
Does anybody know where I can find a copy of the song on CD or Vinyl?

I'm certain it's a cover.
My friend asked after it on my behalf and all of the band members she spoke to seemed unsure of it's origin. There's reference to it online - If I type "give me back my pork pie hat" into google it indicates that this was indeed a Laurel Aitken tune but it isn't featured on any of his many albums that I can find; including compilations and anthologies.
It's a great song and a real highlight of their set. I'll keep on searching though. Gah!

I was just reminded of a Charles Mingus song but now I think it was "Goodbye Pork Pie hat." Hope you have found it by now.
