A Beatles Number

Express & Star: 13th February 1969

Ambrose Slade new single, a Beatles number, is being recut. Could the fact that Roger Allen has been seen in the company of Paul McCartney recently be anything to do with it? Single is now to be released about halfway through March.

The Montanas, the present set-up, that is, recorded on Monday for the Dave Cash Show, to be broadcast next week. Tomorrow they do a Radio One Club broadcast from Plymouth, and three weeks later comes their appearance at the Club Lafayette Radio One show.

Obviously, Martha My Dear never was released as a single, but it's interesting just how many tracks from Beginnings were actually considered for single release. Test pressings were made for Pity The Mother, Fleas ( My Cat Has Got ) - [ which was the working title for "Mad Dog Cole" ], Journey To The Centre Of The Mind and Born To Be Wild!

There definitely was a Rasputin’s Club or Disco in London as I remember free tickets given out to sports clubs etc in the early 70’s.

I used to go to Rasputins in New Bond Street in the late 60s. The DJ was called Johnny and a band called the Peddlers often played there. It was a great club, there were quite often guys from 60s bands in there for a night out. Bag of Nails was great night out too!
