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.

Keep the faith
