Still going strong. I saw them playing last night.
I think this one was a hit everywhere but England, and the crowd reaction was a bit muted (apart from me making a show of myself)but I love it.

It reached No.11 on the UK, so I think that counts as a Hit

I have a copy of the 7" in my archives.

Very decent band - wish they did a national tour.

Good call!

I remember this song when I was on holiday at Butlins Minehead in 1976. I remember hearing it played on someone's radio. That's when people played records out loud on their radios without others complaining of noise pollution. I was only 5, but I do remember it. It has that eerie quality of a childhood memory. There are other songs I remember from childhood holidays. Perhaps the Korgis' Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime and Mike Nesmith's Rio are the only others that give me that strange feeling and chill remembering a part of my life now forever gone.

Ah The Korgis - one of the hits I broke when I was running Decca for Sir Edward Lewis to bump up the price of our sale to PolyGram by getting a hefty chunk of the charts - it worked; he got several million more for the company as a result.

Much bigger in other places, so they say.

Billy kinsley's voice is still spot on.

I love this one too. Maybe a revival of spooky and breathy songs is overdue?

Did i say "breathy"? I meant echoey. I am distracted. I hate breathiness actually.
