The Beatles and Stones had just come into prominence, and although we did some of their tunes, we were considered an "oldies" band (even then!). The singers of the 50s were the greatest influences on my singing style. In those days (and probably these days), it was not unusual for studio musicians to be used on a session to save time and money. In our case, we were not experienced musicians. Also, there was quite an age remises and musical experience difference. We were 16-18 ("I was just 17. You know what I mean"). Dickinson & Fry were about 23. Dickinson wrote another song, "If You Want Me You can Find Me", which became the A side. The musicians on the cut were a combination of Fry & Dickinsons friends/associates/"hangers arounders". Jimmy Crosswaite, who is chiefly known for his work in Memphis as a puppeteer, played percussion, which was maracas on a cardboard box. Charlie Hull, of the then defunct Shades, played lead guitar." - /p>
