Re: The Shadows Of Knight ~ Appreciation Thread

Interesting. My local rock stations played only the Them version of "Gloria" back in the sixties.

:rock:

The Them version of "Gloria" was a hit in some parts of the country. It seems to have done particularly well in Florida and California.

A bit more info on "Potato Chip" ...

THE SHADOWS OF KNIGHT - Potato Chip (Auravision) 1967

Back in the old days when a bag of crisps tasted better and would cost a couple of pence, some companies would cash in on the youth market with promotions. In USA, Fairmont Potato Chips gave away this 5 inch promo cardboard record with a groovy tune by The Shadows Of Knight called 'Potato Chip'...

It was the only way to hear this song in those days as it was not on any vinyl release. The band even tried some comical Beatles chit chat on the disc for the kids while the lucky teens busily fed their hungry faces with chips (or crisps as we say in Britain)...

I don't suppose many of these survived the excesses of kidsville 1967. Many probably ended up in the bin with the empty crisp packet.
