This was just a 4 page newsletter. It wasn't due to lack of activity. A new single release was announced along with a series of dates at Bailey's night club. That was a very popular night club in the UK at the time. In fact, I performed there myself. It doesn't seem to exist anymore.

'Kid Runaway' was a very good record that turned out to be the last Polydor single in the UK. If only that had been released as a follow up to the Top 10 hit 'Baby I Know' a couple of years before... it could all have been very different for the band.

I did my best to enhance the picture of the 71 year old French fan. If she's still alive Miss Dubois will have reached a century. I do hope so.

John's contribution was a handwritten poem which was difficult to read then, and no easier now. Next time I see him I'll ask him the title which I've been unable to decipher.

One of my favourite tracks from the later recordings. Bob Benham & Alan Williams provided some tremendous acoustic guitar. During a tour of the UK in 1999, I went to see the band play at the London Palladium. I was surprised... and delighted that they chose to play 'Kid Runaway' on that occasion.
