"Sugar And Spice" (Searchers) #44 6/13/1964 Bonus

The first release in America for the Searchers, one of so many bands from Liverpool that formed the backbone of the British Invasion, from June 1964 and written by Tony Hatch under the pseudonym Fred Nightingale. Tony had quite a hand in the development of British rock and pop music of the 60's, and was known mostly for his work with Petula Clark. The vintage of the recording equipment is a hoot. Clip is a tad out of sync. This was re-done by Chicago's Cryan' Shames in 1966.

Hard to believe this one didn't make the top-40, given how much airplay it received at the time. It was all over the radio.

I guess with all the British Invasion stuff bombarding American radio this kinda got lost in the shuffle.
