Ray Columbus - Tell Me You Do
1972



Ray Columbus is a New Zealand icon. A towering figure in the history of New Zealand music. But this single is one of his more obscure releases. Both songs are from the album Jangles, Spangles and Banners. It has never been released on CD and is not available (as far as I can tell) to download or to stream.
