A big 1973 hit in Oz was Des O'Connor's version of "Don't Let The Good Life Pass You By". It was very successful saleswise in NSW, in Sydney particularly.The first version to do big business in Oz was by American singer Mama Cass Elliot whose version came out in 1970. In America, another hit version was in 1971, by country artist Ferlin Husky.
Mr. O'Connor's 1973 version has not made it to CD anywhere in the world as far as I am aware. His 7" vinyl single was originally released on Pye Records.
The version for download was sent to me by Silver who runs a music site at the following link:
