PYTHON LEE JACKSON – “IN A BROKEN DREAM”  (September 15 1972) Originally recorded in 1970 and first released on November 6 1970, In A Broken Dream by Python Lee Jackson, featuring Rod Stewart on vocals, was reissued on September 15 1972 in the UK and across Europe. The re‑release followed Rod Stewart’s meteoric rise after Maggie May and You Wear It Well, prompting renewed interest in his earlier collaborations. The single spent 12 weeks on the charts (from September 30 1972 to December 16 1972) and peaked at number 3 in the UK. Issued on the Kitch label (France, catalogue 35002), the record paired In A Broken Dream with “Boogie Woogie Joe” on the flip side. The track’s haunting vocal and blues‑rock arrangement became one of Stewart’s most celebrated guest performances, bridging his transition from session singer to international star.
