Summertime Billy Stewart

Brian Long points out that there are ten Fab Forty singles this week containing Pall Mall-published tracks. (Listed in sepia) There have been more Pall Mall climbers listed in one week, but not singles in the actual chart. Another Pall Mall-crowded Fab was the one for 5th June 66, when eight of the bottom thirty contained either A or B-sides published by the Radio London-associated company.

When You Walk In The Sand Tuesday's Children Columbia DB7978

Tuesday's Children evolved from Enfield band Steve Douglas and the Challengers,which in 1964/5 changed its name to the Prophets. The line up of Phil Cordell (guitar), Mick Ware (guitar), Paul Kendrick (bass) and Derek Gough (drums) was rechristened Tuesday's Children. When You Walk In The Sand was written by Phil Cordell and the song was published by Pall Mall Music.

The band returned to the FF in October with High on a Hill and again in January 67 with Strange Light From the East. All three tracks were recorded at Maxium Sound in the Old Kent Road.

An interview with Mick Ware by Paul Cross indicates that there is a lot of misinformation about the band. Barry Younghusband of Warm Sounds is sometimes cited as having been a member, but this seems to be completely unfounded.

Besides climbers that were played at the time of the broadcast of the Sunday Fab Forty, Alan kept a note of others he heard later in the week and incorporated them into his list.
