Here's one that doesn't turn up very often. The Applejacks' sixth UK release on Decca was this excellent cover of the Ray Davies song, later to be recorded by many others. Sank without trace, more's the pity. Ah well, life is like that sometimes.

Not the Chim chim Cheree from Mary Poppins, I hope...? Actually, that one has a ' Link arms with me and hop along' mood, an extrovert cheerfulness that you also find in most Applejacks songs. The lead singer had this 'happy voice'.
Also, they used the then trendy mouthharp, Gary Lewis & the Playboys did, Pinkerton's Colours, A very 1965 instrument. Such a pity it went just as quick out of vogue again.

@dedeurs The productionis a bit poor isn't it. This came out after they fell out with Decca over Chim Chim Cheree (which they refused to record). Decca didn't give them as much support after that. They had promoted the single but the band never recorded it which must have made them look bad. I believe this contributed to their slow demise. Shame really. Good band.

@nowaypedrito1 yep an American band of the same name from the late fifties early sixties. Presumably they didn't make enough waves in the Uk for the brumbeat outfit to realise the name was taken.

Superb version of a Ray Davies classic. never recorded by the Kinks to my knowledge but there is a demo version with Ray and a piano on the expanded CD version of Kinda Kinks.
PS Suzi Quatro received a 1957 Fender Precision from her Dad in 1964.

Hey, that's great! I never heard this song (from anyone). To my knowledge, the Applejacks didn't get much radio play in the US. Too bad. They were terrific.

I listened to the Kink's version (by now EVERYTHING can be looked up on YTube). Better vocals, but Ray sounds feeling ill at ease. The Applejacks' put much more emotion into it. The harsh sound, yes, it's not produced well. But I love their instrumentalics, I love this little record. And I loath the Pretenders for not leaving this one alone.
No, it wasn't a B side. It just never reached the top 20. But me, I ran to the House of Hits. For this very record, I was their fan number 1...
