One Way Ticket One Way Ticket / I'm Gonna Love 1963 Recorded at Regent Sound, Denmark Street. February 20th, 1963. According to guitarist Ray King personnel on this track was: Casey Jones, vocals; Carlo Little, drums; Danny McCullough on bass (he was at that time with Dave Sutch, later the Animals); Ray King, guitar; Nicky Hopkins, piano. Produced by Eve Taylor (Sandy Shaw's manager). 

They also recorded an instrumental version of Chuck Berry's 'Guitar Boogie' and 'Lucille' at the same time which Ray has on cassette.

Ray King: "Casey knew me by working with Bob Xavier and Jackie Lynton, and I knew Carlo by working with Dave Sutch, and we often met when he was touring with Johnny Kidd. Nicky, I believe, was with Neil Christian at that time, or had just joined the Stones. I don't have the date of recording here but I reckon it was in 1964, maybe even '63. 
As far as the B side is concerned, I was definitely not on that. However, I was led to believe that our version was the one  released. How Casey got involved there I've no idea, but then he was getting into everything. He stole Dave Sutch's stage show down to the last beat of the bass drum, and copied 'Jack the Ripper' after he had his hit in Germany with 'Don't Ha Ha'. I remember last seeing Danny McCullough at a club in Bückeburg, Germany about 1965." 

Several web sources quote the following as personnel on this track: Tom McGuinness - guitar, Dave McCumisky - bass guitar, Ray Smith - drums, Eric Clapton - guitar. This is wrong, according to Ray.
