DESCRIPTION:
The Epics (Vic Elmes: Guitar, Vocals, Mike Blakley: Drums, Ian Jansen: Bass and Stuart Tann: Vocals) were another one of Tony Hatch’s signings to Pye for whom they released three singles all of which failed to sell.
This was their second single for the label and the song was originally intended to be the ‘a’ side, but because Cliff Richard’s version had already been released and was starting to climb the charts, the record was flipped and the original ‘b’ side “Just How Wrong Can You Be” was given prominence.
Vic Elmes and Mike Blakley were members of the band Christie who had a UK number 1 with the song “Yellow River” in May 1970.
