From the final ever episode of 'The Arthur Haynes Show', broadcast 30th April 1966. A band I know nothing about! Anyone?

Thank you John. Surprised to see they even released an album, something The Action, The Big Three, The Birds, Bern Elliott and The Fenmen, Jet Harris and Tony Meehan, The Mojos, Beryl Marsden and Twinkle never did (only latter day compilations!).

It's interesting the way that in songs, a woman, albeit with two blokes on vocal too, can sing about being in love with a girl and her sweet kisses.
Folk music has tended to have least problem with that sort of thing, I think, with Dylan (and many others)singing about whorehouses being "the ruin of many a young girl, and God knows, I'm one", and Baez singing that she's "a man of constant sorrow".

I like 'em! - They were very television-friendly being equally at home singing sentimental old faves like 'Danny Boy' as well as turn-of-the-70s numbers like 'Good Morning Starshine', making them naturals for the musical guest spot in comedy and variety shows in much the same way as The Pattersons, Design and Springfield Revival. The LP has a great cover shot taken on the set of London Weekend's 'Saturday Crowd' on which they were apparently regulars. They were also on a couple of ATV Des O'Connor shows from around the same time.
I play tracks from the New Faces LP on Serenade Radio from time to time, so I'm happy to say they do still get an airing.

They had the TV show appearances, and I guess the album was recorded fairly cheaply - it was released in Decca's "budget priced" "World of ..." series. |

I think the album rounds up the A and B-sides of all their Decca singles rather than being a new production, though this would probably be the first time they could be heard in stereo - wonderful LP, with some great arrangements by the late Johnny Harris among others.
I'm not sure whether any of their appearances on The Saturday Crowd still exist - I've seen a few editions from the 1969 series, and they're nowhere to be seen. Lonnie Donegan is a regular, though, with future Radio 1 DJ and voiceover king Steve Jones as his bass player!

Johnny Harris and also Mike Vickers - he did the arrangement on the wonderful 'We Can Get There By Candlelight' single (surely the Christmas '68 smash that never was!)
A real shame the LP doesn't credit any of these talented chaps.

Thanks, but John Poole already posted that link. I don't dislike those folk-pop type acts (The Settlers were fabulous!). |

I have that world of the new faces album ,a nice album of 60s light pop ,never came across any of their singles whilst hunting through charity shops, but that album is a nice sampler as is a lot of the Decca world of series (think I might have uploaded a track onto my YouTube channel a good few years back  )
