On April Fool's Day 1977, book dealer Richard Booth proclaimed Hay-on-Wye an ‘independent kingdom’ with himself as self-styled King Richard Cœur de Livre. This vinyl disc was part of the publicity stunt. Local composer Les Penning wrote and recorded the ‘national anthem’ of Hay, sung to the tune of ‘Colonel Bogey’. Ar Ddydd Ffŵl Ebrill 1977, cyhoeddodd y gwerthwr llyfrau Richard Booth y Gelli yn ‘deyrnas annibynnol’ gydag ef ei hun yn Frenin Richard Cœur De Livre hunan-benodedig. Rhan o’r sbloet cyhoeddusrwydd oedd y ddisg finyl hon. Ysgrifennodd a recordiodd y cyfansoddwr lleol, Les Penning, ‘anthem genedlaethol’ y Gelli a gafodd ei channu i dôn ‘Colonel Bogey’.
