Recorded in 1982, this scarce Billy Fury album, The One and Only, was released, posthumously, in 1983.  Fury contracted rheumatic fever as a child which damaged his heart, ultimately thought to contribute to the fatal heart attack he suffered in January 1983 losing his life at the young age of 42.  He intended to begin promotion of the album in Dec 1982, but his health would not permit that to happen and his life ended less than a month later.  This was a comeback album following his incredible career in the 1950's and '60's where Fury, as the precursor to The Beatles, was almost the 'English Elvis'.  But his comeback was not to be and this album is rare due to this lack of promotion due to Fury's death.  In a bizarre twist, Fury lost his life at the same age as Elvis who also died at the incredibly young age of 42.
