Formed
in the early 1960s prior to the Beat Boom explosion, The
Symbols honed their craft in the back waters of East London
earning a reputation as one of the region's best live draws.
With near-constant gigging and a knack for incorporating
the catchiest of US hits within their set, the boys - John
Milton (vocals), Mick Clarke (bass guitar), Shaun Corrigan
(lead guitar) and Clive Graham (drums - later Chas Wade)
- caught the attention of the newly-formed President label,
which swiftly led to their covering The Happenings' US smash
See You In September in August 1966.
Their 4th single introduced them to the UK charts, a version
of the Four Seasons' earlier US hit, Bye Bye Baby and in
so doing inadvertently laid down the blueprint for what
would become the Bay City Rollers' No.1 some 8 years later.
(The Best Part Of) Breaking Up heralded their only LP release
and after releasing just one more single in 1968, the band's
brief tenure with President was over.
This CD includes all of their President cuts plus previously
unissued bonus tracks including the recently-discovered
Four Seasons Medley plus the band's original demo of Silence
Is Golden, later a chart-topper for The Tremeloes. This
long-awaited reissue is required listening for all devotees
of Harmony Pop. |
