Hi All Mark Hester wrote: " The organ on 'Mayfly sounds like 'Telstar' by the Tornadoes. But was anyone on this list born when that came out..... not me, i missed it by 9 years." My copy of Telstar (b/w "Jungle Fever"!) came out in 1962, which would have made me 6 years old at the time. Do I win a prize? For me, this is one of the added attractions of listening to B & S. Not only do you get brilliant tunes, superb musicianship, witty/weird/cute/moving lyrics ( delete as applicable) but you also get snatches from all the things that the band members have listened to whilst growing up. As well as all the usual influences mentioned, like Nick Drake, Love, Donovan, Dylan, etc. I can also hear The Incredible String Band, and believe it or not, Yes. At my age I also get to dance round the room to String Bean Jean with my 12 year old son and to really enjoy B & S gigs with my 19 year old daughter.
