The Early Radio London Fab Forties
Sunday 15th August 1965
As this pic sleeve shows, 'What's New Pussycat' and 'With These Hands' was a double-sided release on the continent.
In the UK, 'Hands' was released first (Decca F12191) c/w 'Untrue', while 'Pussycat' (Decca F12203) had a song called 'Rose' as its B-side. The singles appeared in the Nationals in that order, 'Hands' reaching #13, 'Pussycat' climbing to #11. However, the reverse is happening in this week's Fab, as 'Pussycat' climbs from #27 to #18, while 'Hands' slides from #15 to #33!
'What's New Pussycat' is the title track from Woody Allen's first major film, which also starred Peter Sellers. (Clips from the film soundtrack are here.)
