Και πάμε στους ας μου επιτραπεί να πω original. Αν το προηγούμενο γκρουπάκι, εννοώ τους Whazoos, μου έμοιαζε για Βρετανικό αυτό εδώ είναι και με τη βούλα. Τους Cherry Smash τους άκουσα για πρώτη φορά στο ίσως κλασικό Green Plant. Το ψάξιμο έβγαλε στην επιφάνεια τα «άπαντα» του γκρουπ. Μου αρέσει ιδιαίτερα η εκτέλεση για το φιλμ των Manfred Mann αν και μικρότερη σε διάρκεια.

GRAHAM HUNT A B
BRYAN SEBASTIAN vcls, gtr A B

45s:
1 Sing Songs Of Love/Movie Star (Track 604 017) 1967
2 Goodtime Sunshine/Little Old Country Home Town (Decca F 12838) 1968
3 Fade Away Maureen/Green Plant (Decca F 12884) 1969
Formed in Gosport, Hampshire, Cherry Smash are best remembered for Sing Songs Of Love, which was written by Mike Hugg (who was Sebastian's brother) and Mick Gill. The pretty slushy pop song was taken to a wider audience by virtue of its inclusion on Manfred Mann's 'Up The Junction' soundtrack and later on Track's Backtrack, 2 compilation. Gill left after this and wasn't replaced. The follow-up, Goodtime Sunshine, was a Mike Hugg composition as was their final effort, Fade Away Maureen. This had commercial potential with quite a memorable guitar riff but sounds distinctly wimpy now. The flip side, a song about an office plant, is for me their best composition but they aren't essential listening.
Compilation appearances have included:- Fade Away Maureen on Rubble, Vol. 11 - Adventures In The Mist (LP), Rubble, Vol. 6 (CD), British Psychedelic Trip, Vol. 4 (LP), Broken Dreams, Vol. 5 (LP) and Great British Psychedelic Trip, Vol. 2 (CD); Green Plant on British Psychedelic Trip, Vol. 3 (LP).
