The Symbols began their stage career as Johnny Milton and the Condors - John Milton (vocals), Mick Clarke (bass guitar), Shaun Corrigan (lead guitar) and Clive Graham (drums). Their first single under the new name was "One Fine Girl", produced by Mickie Most, but it didn't sell.
They experienced several line-up shuffles during their existence, with Joe Baccini (bass), Sean Corrigan (guitar) and Chris (Chas) Wade (drums) playing with the group at various times. A cover version of "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" failed to produce mainstream success and 1966 saw them without a record contract.
Mick Clark left to play with The Tremeloes for a while and introduced them to a song from The Symbols act, "Silence Is Golden". He then returned to the Symbols.
Ed Kassner at President needed a harmony band to cover "See You In September" which he owned and which was a hit in the US, so The Symbols were signed. The record didn't sell, partly due to distribution problems, but it set the band up for more singles including "Bye Bye Baby" which was later to produce success for the Bay City Rollers and "Best Part Of Breaking Up", which became their second chart hit at number 25 in January 1968.
The band carried on until 1972. Mick Clark joined The Rubettes, Chas Wade and John Milton played with the pub-rock band JJ Foote during the mid-70s.

ReplyDeleteChecked now - the link is works.
DeleteMany thanks for the link.....but do you have it in MP3 please
ReplyDeleteHello Trevor.
DeleteSorry,but we have already spoken about this many times. You can do it yourself with a converter. AIMP for example (https://www.aimp.ru/?do=catalog&id=0&os=windows&page=2). This is a free program. This is a matter of five minutes ....
For many years, I've used this site for online conversion

I believe Trevor means do you have this as individual mp3 track files. As is this is one giant image flac file. I don't think he is asking to convert flac to mp3 but rather image to tracks.
DeleteMany thanks for the link sadly it didn't work,but don't worry I'll look elsewhere.

ReplyDeleteMuchas gracias por este maravilloso disco, D&J (Dmitrich) .
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
Many thanks Dmitrich, I have had this CD but deleted by mistake. I have, or rather I will have two The Shevells 45s: Cathy's Clown (missing) and The Coffee Song (poor YT copy needs replacement). Ordered and should receive them soon, then, I will send you the link. YT copy of Taking Over Your Love also needs replacement and I’m trying to find this 45 in the cyberspace. I would be grateful, if you could check my wish-list.
ReplyDeleteSuper ! Thank you.
DeleteTake a look at this one. I don't know exactly what the differences are. http://allmusic-wingsofdream.blogspot.com/2022/01/the-symbols-best-part-of-symbols.html#more
Delete@ Cor
DeleteOne to one.... Except that there is one more song on your album (25 vs. 24) and release years 2004 vs. 1999...
Although on discogs this album for some reason dates back to 2000, although the cover is 1999...
