No clues as to the artist (it's the only record catalogued). This one was written by Charles Anzavour and Geoffrey Parsons; which probably means Aznavour wrote it. Parsons was a lyricist who specialised in translating foreign songs in the 50s and 60s.
The b side was a song written by The Skyliners 'Since I don't have you'.

There's another version on YouTube (a lousy recording), which says apparently it's a rare English Northern Soul track. A demo version was on sale a while back at £450.

Irritating, this one. So near to good info ...
Both written by Tom Springfield, Dusty's brother. He produced them too. According to the Springfield's appreciation thread somewhere else 'Big Town' sounds like 'Island of Dreams'. But there's nothing about the group anywhere.
Neither song was recorded by The Springfields, and the group had split up by late 1963, so it seems likely this was one of Tom's early compositions for other people, at the start of his career as a producer.
Both of the b sides were part-written by Robin Netcher, who seems to have been involved in arranging a number of South African hits

wonder if he's a link from Dusty's controversial South African tour not long after she went solo?
