Lawn was a subsidiary of Swan records which ran from 1960-65 of which this was the penultimate release in 1965. It appears that this was his only 45 and the only copies listed are white promos so it seems that it may never have actually got a release?
It sounds very blue-eyed to these ears but nevertheless this was a monster all-nighter tune in the late 70s. Scanning through the Lawn roster, other notable 'Northern' acts include Modern Red Caps, Billy Harner, Jesse James and Larry Clinton.
'Put That Woman Down' and the flip side were written by General Norman Johnson (Chairman Of The Board) and is reminiscent of the style put out by The Showmen ('Our Love Will Grow') of which he (General Johnson) was a member and who also recorded for Swan.

Released in the UK on Destiny in 1979 owing to huge demand. Destiny was predominantly a Northern Soul reissue label owned by Kev Roberts (one of the original Wigan Casino DJs) which released between 20-30 records in 1979-80 including some 'taylor-made' cover versions by UK blue-eyed artists (many, it has to be said, of dubious quality).
