Neighbour, Neighbour (Valier) 2:43
PICCADILLY
Produced by John Schroeder
Release Date: 9th. September 1966

Debut single, issued with little embellishment from the original demo. "I (Who Have Nothing)" was originally a hit for Ben E.

Laticia (Lancaster) 3:00
PICCADILLY
Produced by John Schroeder
Release Date: 18th. November 1966

THE TRAFFIC JAM

7N.35386 ALMOST BUT NOT QUITE THERE (Barlow-Rossi) 2:45
Wait Just A Minute (Lynes) 2:12
PICCADILLY
Produced by John Schroeder
Release Date: 16th. June 1967

The group changed their name, in March 1967 to 'The Traffic'. The name change brought the band some unexpected publicity, as Steve Winwood had left the Spencer Davis Group and called his new group Traffic. The Traffic then became 'The Traffic Jam'. The publicity from the name dispute helped "Almost But Not Quite There" reach the edge of the charts, but the B.B.C. banned the single on grounds that the lyrics were 'too suggestive'. Yellow Piccadilly promotion copies were pressed. Now deleted.

It was originally intended that "Gentleman Joe's Sidewalk Cafe" be the 'a' side, but the band were so pleased with the production on "Pictures Of Matchstick Men" that it was chosen as the 'a' side. "Pictures Of Matchstick Men" became the band's first hit, entering the chart on the 24th. January 1968. The single reached the number seven position and spent twelve weeks in the chart. It was also a hit in the American charts reaching the number twelve position. Yellow Pye promotion copies were pressed showing the year of pressing as 1967.

The re-mixed version of "The Power Of Rock" which was the b-side of "The Anniversary Waltz Part One" single, was originally intended to be issued as a single. The release had been planned for May 1990 and had been provisionally allocated the catalogue number QUO 28. The intended 'b' side "Little Lady" was to have been a 'live' version of the song recorded at the Birmingham N.E.C. concerts, in December 1989. The additional track, for the twelve inch release, was to have been a 'live' version of "Paper Plane" recorded at Bray studios, Berkshire. For the CD single (QUO28CD) a 'live' version of "Down Down" (5:24), was to be included - together with the full length recording of "The Power Of Rock". The release was cancelled and no copies were pressed.

It was planned to issue, an edited version of, "Fakin' The Blues", from the "Rock 'Til You Drop" album, as a single on the 28th. October 1991. The release date was put back to the 11th. November and was eventually cancelled as "Rock 'Til You Drop" was issued as a single instead. The 12" version included both an edited and the album version of "Fakin' The Blues". The sleeve design was later used for the "Rock 'Til You Drop" single. With the release cancelled most of the copies pressed were destroyed by the record company, although some copies of the 7", 12" and cassette versions still exist. The C.D. version was available to fan club members only, with Issue 1 of the FTMO magazine in May 1993 and in January 2000 in a specially designed cover.

Bootleg of The Spectres 1967 single. It was possible to differentiate between the original release and the bootleg, as the label on the bootleg had a glossy finish, while original copies had a matt finish. Also, although the correct catalogue number was shown on the bootleg label, the number shown on the actual record was incorrect. The bootleg was manufactured in 1995.
