From the pen of Ray Davies, This Strange Effect fared only slightly better in the Fab 40 (#25) than the Nationals (#37), but was incredibly popular in Belgium and the Netherlands, becoming Holland's best-selling 45 of all time. A (presumably) instrumental version of the song was also released in Holland in 1965 by an anonymous brass quartet called Mystery Inc (Philips JF 327906) This Strange Effect is on The Very Best of Dave Berry, a budget-priced 20-track CD, which also contains his other Fab 40 hits Mama, I'm Gonna Take You There, Stranger and Little Things. Dave Berry's personal website 'Crying Game' is here. |

Mark Richardson appears in Dateline Diamonds (assuming that the singer above, as seen in the film, is the same one who recorded Baby, I'm Sorry) during the end sequence, shot during the Radio London Night at the Rank Ballroom in Watford. Mark is introduced as 'a special guest from America' and performs a song called What Ma Gonna Do, which does not appear to have been a UK release. Mark's second single, See it My Way, also out in 1965, failed to make the Big L playlist. (Another US artist of the same name released covers of I'm Your Puppet and See See Rider in 1966.) The Mark Richardson name crops up on a jazz-flavoured World Record Club Christmas album, Winter Sunshine, recorded at the EMI studios in October '65 and issued that year. Mark sings some solo tracks and also duets with Franesi Watson, who briefly appeared in the Fab Forty in February '65. |

| When My Baby Cries | Poor Souls | Decca F 12183 |
From Dundee, the Poor Souls were vocalist Johnny Hudson (b. Moran), Doug Martin (gtr), John Casey (drums) and Chick Taylor (bass). Hudson, Martin and Casey had begun their musical careers with the Johnny Hudson Hi-Four.
Johnny Hudson (now living in Canada) was in Dundee for a reunion in 2004, while Dougie Martin has long been a popular musician there, on the local r & b scene.
Singer/songwriter Lesley Duncan (d 2010) wrote When My Baby
Cries and had already issued her own recording of it, in 1963. Listen
to a clip of Lesley's version on the Fans of Lesley Duncan website. (Look for 'Sound Clips'.)
PYE also released a version in 1965, by Czech singer Yvonne
Prenosilova, produced by Tony Hatch,
but sadly, despite all the recordings, nobody achieved a hit with the song.
