Attn. Doug Thompson: Does This Obscure CHUM Recording Exist Anywhere?

According to The CHUM Chart Book, "The President's Canada Conference" by Garry Ferrier charted for 4 weeks, peaking at #28 on January 7, 1963.

There are copies of the single for sale on eBay and Discogs. Prices range from around $4 to 20 bucks. But amazingly, it's not on the web as an audio clip anywhere that I can find.

After digging through my 45's I found it. But it's not a pristine disc...

I noticed that your picture says Part 1, while the one I posted has Part 2 on the label. So clearly, they split the bit in half.
