Tommy Hunt did the original versions of these tracks on his LP before other artists had the hits. Dusty Springfield had a big hit with I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself which got to number 3 in the British charts. The song had an odd genesis. First recorded by Chuck Jackson whose vocal replaced Tommy Hunt, it wasn’t released. Then it was re-recorded using Tommy Hunt but failed to chart.
