The Staccatos are South Africa's longest running group who formed in November 1961. They won the 1964 Transvaal Merseyside Contest, and the prize was an EMI recording contract. They supported Peter and Gordon in 1965, on their SA tour, the same year the group recorded this first album, with some exciting covers of the hits of the time. Later, they also supported The Byrds (1970) and Chris De Burgh (1979) on their South Africa tours.
