"We backed The Bee Gee's for their gig at Mattara concert in Civic Park in 1966. They attempted to mime 'Spicks and Specks', which had only been released that week, to a record through the P.A. as the last song. But the record kept jumping and got stuck. They started stamping their feet on stage to keep in time and that made the record jump worse".
