Label: Decca
Year: 1949

About the groote oude clocke (1518) in the local Sint-Maartens church, surviving more than five turbulent centuries. Arnemuiden is a fishing port in Zeeland (NL). The melody was co-written by H. Mengers and Derk Postema (see: Aan Het Strand Stil En Verlaten), who was too shy to claim co-authorship.

Not to be confused with Het Klokje Van Arnemuiden (Stoere Vissers) by Willy Derby (Beka - 1924), crediting Willy Derby/Enrico Paoli and covered by Lou Bandy in '36.
