To be exact, this was the Canastota Bee Journal, as close as you can get to Mayberry. Indeed, they didn’t need a a kid in his late single digits writing a review. So he tells me, “We don’t need a piece on this dirty English combo”, and that was that, or so he thought. I was still a good Catholic boy, but too late, I’d done it. He was so busy being busy, running in and out of his pathetic office, that I just reached over and grabbed a few pages of letterhead when he wasn’t looking. Even though I ended up meeting the band, I still loathe him for his attitude, not towards me, but towards my Father. Looking back it was quite a good idea on my part, but this self celebrating fellow was nasty and dismissive. My Dad had set me up with the pompous owner of it, as I wanted to interview the band for a feature. I had forged a press pass, a typed note actually, on letterhead from a weekly paper in my little hometown. I saw The Rolling Stones for the first time on Octoat the Syracuse War Memorial.

In honor of yet another year owning ‘Zabadak’, one of my all time favorite singles by an all time favorite band, I’m continuing my annual tradition of reposting that original entry about the single’s history from Decemat SO MANY RECORDS SO LITTLE TIME.įootnote: In the original post linked above, I mention the single’s strong airplay at the time. Listen: Zabadak / Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich Louis Union, The Beatles, The Moody Blues, The Silkie | No Comments » Posted in Billboard, Denny Cordell, Denny Laine, London Records, Parrot, Peter & Gordon, St. Louis Union, The Beatles, The Moody Blues, The Silkie Tags: Billboard, Decca, Denny Cordell, Denny Laine, London Records, Parrot, Peter & Gordon, St. The process initially worked for Peter & Gordon, The Silkie and a handful of others, yet the idea had primarily dried by the time post ’65 late comers released theirs. Despite being a nice time piece, the record was part of an already risky strategy: covering Beatles’ songs to achieve hits.
The single charted for one week on the BILLBOARD Hot 100 at #98 and was a decent snapshot of Winter ’66, basically dreary and cold, just as I vividly remember it and personally preferred.ĭreary and cold, or dark and downbeat were indeed the sounds de jour. I heard it often at both my local Top 40′s in Syracuse. ‘Stop’ received confident airplay throughout the northeast upon release. The US album version was similar but didn’t included ‘Stop!’, presumably because American label London spotted the track as a potential hit.

‘Stop!’, a US only 7″, was taken from the Denny Cordell produced debut UK LP and their only full length with lineup one. All of them should command more worth, being pressed in very limited quantities. The hits disappeared quickly after their second 7″, ‘Go Now’, although the quality of singles did not. But singer Denny Laine was special, and had an authentic, recognizable voice. Not surprisingly, the band were recycling US blues and RnB, not unlike most other collectible UK acts during the mid 60′s. It’s where the collectible piece is baffling. I guess the mainstream success of Moody Blues lineup two unfairly squashed that.īut still, lineup one, well that was a very different sounding group and should be a very different story. When it comes to vinyl or artifacts, oddly, The Moody Blues are not a collectible band.
