They followed this with another top ten record "Game Of Love" (65), but from that point they began to suffer from the same problem as many otf their contemporaries - their original material wasn't strong enough.
Fontana too, put out solo records but none of them set the world on fire, his highest placing was No. 11 with "Pamela, Pamela" at the end of '66.

 British jazz Re-issues Next Batch - Page 17 - Jazz Bulletin Board
This was recorded at BBC Maida Vale Studios for Jazz Club in 1974 and 1976 (I was at the session with the audience - May 76 - God I feel old).
The '74 set was recorded sans audience because for a time the programme had to be recorded without the audience due to building works.
It would appear that to record concerts in stereo in the 1960s in the UK would have involved a major operation, probably a regiment of the Royal Engineers, some tanks, light aircraft, etc. All the great Tempo recordings are in mono of course.

 Lucio Fontana [1899-1968] - Featured Artist on Artfact.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
He moved with his family to Milan in 1905 but followed his father back to Buenos Aires in 1922 and there established his own sculpture studio in 1924.
On settling again in Milan he trained from 1928 to 1930 at the Accademia di Brera, where he was taught by the sculptor Adolfo Wildt; Wildt’s devotion to the solemn and monumental plasticity of the Novecento Italiano group epitomized the qualities against which Fontana was to react in his own work.
Soon afterwards, together with other northern Italian artists such as Fausto Melotti, Fontana abandoned any lingering Novecento elements in favour of a strict and coherent form of abstraction.

 Misunderstood Chapter
It was late 1966, and Fontana Records had assembled several dozen members of the press to hear the label's newest and most adventurous act at its London headquarters.
His eclectic tastes extended beyond rock and blues to Indian ragas, Library of Congress recordings of tribal New Guinea music, and African songs with cycles that wouldn't repeat for minutes on end (as opposed to the usual four measures or eight-bar repetitions found in much pop music).
Campbell points out that it was all but impossible to find old blues records in the States in those days, meaning that they had to be learned by playing them over and over at the house of a friend who had a big collection.

The Others were part of the last wave of mid-1960's British beat bands, formed at Hampton Grammar School in Middlesex with Paul Stewart on vocals, Bob Freeman and John Stanley on guitars, Ian McLintock on bass, and Nigel Baldwin on drums.
