They're Justin Hinds and The Dominoes, and it was released under their name also. Massive hit in Jamaica, but in 1963; and The Selecter recorded it.


Had to dig, never heard of them. http://www.answers.com/topic/the-chasers-rock-band-60s. Another of those early to mid-60s r&b/mod bands that never really found a sound of their own. Quite like 'Hey little girl' in a Bo Diddley derivative style, 'Inspiration' is utterly forgettable, though I'm sure they thought they were The Yardbirds

cheers for the info

didnt think the chasers were bad on hearing those tracks, makes a change from bloody reggae/ska!

A hit in The 70s for Colin Bluntstone , Say You Don't Mind

The Original by Denny Laine from 1967 .

fan alert
I'm finding this very useful for playing old stuff I'd almost forgotten about and the stuff I never caught.
Thanks

Ive got the denny laine version.

Thanks.

Im using this excercise to discover tracks as i know most of the hits. I was only a boy in the 60's but loved the music and collected it when i was in my teens when glamrock was out cos i didnt like glam

now for one of rock n rolls heavyweights...literally! posted in 2 parts

This was actually issued as by Bobby Rydell / Chubby Checker, in December 1961.
There were 2 releases of it that year, the first with the pretty dreadful 'Jingle Bells Imitations' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3po0A9bxlJ4, and then with 'What Are You Doing New Year's Eve', both with the same catalog number.

its not listed in my catalogue under bobby rydell, so its as well i posted it under chubby checker!

but cheers for the info

coming up to a year since i started this project, been through 200 pages in my catalogue and theres 1200 more to go through. at this rate itll take another 6 years to complete by which time this thread would be 'live' for over ten years....

some great tracks there, i like the production of her early hits. not sure about the last two though...

I went digging in the lovely 45cat.com
It was a Page One production (though on CBS) for Dick James Music. Larry Page (of Troggs management among others) and Dick James owned Page One, which was a label too.
The b side was called 'Hump A Dink' co-written by Larry Page himself. I guess that probably means it was released after March '66, when 'Release me' got a stranglehold on the charts and radio.
There's only 7 Google hits for the band or record - one to a sale list which notes unhelpfully 'beaty'.

erm... 'release me' was 67 dave

oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
That's what happens when you're disturbingly looking forward to the referendum results coverage.
However - that makes the title of the b side even odder. Why would Page etc make a jpke about Engelbert when he'd not been a big star at that point, and was barely in the public eye? He did the Knokke song contest in July '66, but that was hardly an event that got UK media coverage.

*note to self - 0/10, must concentrate*

maybe the b side was a referrance to the engelbert humperdink?

cont tuesday or maybe wednesday

This is why it's so irritating that records have vanished without a trace, isn't it.
I can't imagine it's anything to do with the Vietnam War (I apologise, I can't think of another acceptable way to raise that), so either it's as you say or a private joke or dig between Larry Page and Gordon Mills (Eng's manager). After all they obviously knew each other, being in the same trade.

Puzzling over a lost song with few clues and no real chance of hearing it, ever.
