Susan Hampshire was in Wonderful Life, never noticed her in EB.

Just checked the IMDB and sure enough she was in EB albeit uncredited.

There you go, I'll need to have a look next time.

She played the role of Cynthia, the dopey debutante who simpers over Bongo (Cliff) in the dressing room scene.

Burt Kwouk appears (and has a couple of lines) in the very earliest moments of the film.

Can't argue with that, Jim, and it's certainly never been issued on commercial disc.

Time for me to wipe a certain amount of egg from my face!

Over the weekend a little research, via Vic Rust's Shadows Recording Catalogue, reveals that a heavily edited version of "Love" from the EB soundtrack has been issued on the Just About As Good As It Gets compilation by Cliff (track 25 on disc 1). I haven't seen or heard a copy of this double CD, but it seems this has been taken from a DVD copy of the film, rather than the original tape source.

To further confuse matters.
Volume 2 of Cliff's Just as good as it gets album has a track (18 on CD2) listed as Bongo Blues but this is the 'dancing' music from the film as shown in the You tube clip.
