Day Time, Night Time was the band's third single. It was their fourth, Kites, released in the autumn of '67, that brought them their biggest hit.
Written by Manfred Mann, Day
Time, Night Time gave ex-Caroline

#51), in 1973.

Ashore The Style (in common with all the Radio London DJs and Episode Six) was one of many acts represented by the Philip Birch Agency, run by Big L's managing director. The photo (right) from Beatwave magazine, neither identifies the band members, nor gives any information about them. Phil had previously fronted a band called CC Rider. Sadly, he passed away in March 2008, after a long illness. May 20th Alan Keen retaliates with the bold move of making the track #1 in the Fab Forty for June 11th.

Green additions to the climbers indicate singles sourced from 'Monty's Diary'. (See Fab Forty for 010167). Monty has noted that Don't Come Back To Me, On My Life, My One Chance To Make It and Gypsy Fred continue to be played for a second week. The Troggs record My Lady had been Lorne King's climber last week, but was immediately withdrawn by Page One and replaced by Night Of The Long Grass, with the same B-side and exactly the same catalogue number. While the replacement enters the climber list this week, Monty does note also hearing the original track played as a climber again.
Alan Field did not hear the records sourced from Monty's Diary played or announced as climbers.
(*) Wolfgang Buchholz notes hearing this record announced as John Yorke's climber, but thinks that tag was withdrawn when Yorke left the ship.
