"Remember Me"/"I Am a Cider Drinker" was a split single released by British Sea Power and The Wurzels. The 7" single features The Wurzels covering BSP's "Remember Me" and BSP covering The Wurzels' 1976 hit "I Am a Cider Drinker". The release was limited to 1,966 (the year Adge Cutler formed The Wurzels) and only available on BSP's November 2005 tour or through their official website.
The Wurzels' recording of "I Am a Cider Drinker" was one of the first singles ever bought by British Sea Power singers Scott and Neil Wilkinson (Yan and Hamilton). The 7" was purchased from a jumble sale in Natland, where they grew up.[1]
