  Chris Curtis - Biography - AOL Music
The death of Chris Curtis, founding member of the Searchers, on February 28, 2005, did not simply sadden fans of that most scintillating of the British Invasion/Merseybeat bands.
Curtis' first move upon leaving the Searchers was to cut a solo single, aptly titled "Aggravation." Later in life, he took a job with the Inland Revenue, where he remained for the next 20 years.
With Curtis' notions for the project in a permanent state of confused flux, the musicians swiftly tired of trying to keep up with his ideas and, when it became apparent that Curtis was finally losing interest, nobody tried to coax him back on board.

  Chris Curtis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chris Curtis ( August 26, 1941 – February 28, 2005) was a British drummer and singer with the 1960s rock band The Searchers.
Curtis hated Australia and he was abusing a variety of substances to the point where he fell off the stage at one venue.
Curtis did not want to help his old band, however, and with the help of Harold Davidson the Ryans released the single in the week of September 12, 1966 and played it on ‘Ready, Steady, Go’ on October 7.

However, during the group's heyday between 1963 and 1966, Chris Curtis, who has been found dead at his home in Aintree aged 63, after a long illness, made a significant contribution to their sound, as drummer, singer and songwriter.
But by the spring of 1966, Curtis began to find that the glamour of being a member of Liverpool's "second most popular group" was being outweighed by the drudgery of their touring and recording schedule.
Curtis also had some success in record production, most notably with Paul and Barry Ryan, but his musical career gradually petered out, prompting him to take a job in the civil service.

He stated in that article that he had been trying to interview Curtis for years but had always been turned down, he even stated that when researching for the afore mentioned “Let’s Go Down The Cavern” Curtis was the only person who turned him down with an abrupt response.
I did think it strange however that if the intention was to talk about the aforementioned CD then Chris Curtis was not really an ideal person, he could only comment with any authority on the PYE years, up to mid 66 at least.
