Name the Irish beat group who had more releases in the USA than in their own country and we are not talking about Them so rule Them off your list.As there were few beat groups who released singles i will also want to know the title of their USA only single. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sorry to cut across you Usheen but I want to have a word with Eddy and Alpineseven. Listen, if I ever get any Spotlights the two of you can get up on your hind legs and beg but you won't even get a look ;D ;D

Hey Usheen that was a good guess but alas not the right one.While they had 5 releases in 65/66 they were all issued here and in the UK and most if not all were credited to Ian Whitcomb himself.You Turn me On was Ian Whitcomb and Bluesville and as he was English it is not the answer i require.This group is 100% Irish. :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X

That in my humble opinion was their classic track and one of my all time favourites from the 60s.Alas not the answer. ;D ;D

Ok we will wrap this up The Creatures released 3 singles here and in the UK  during 66 / 67 and they were as follows
( 1 )Turn Out The Light ( 2 ) String Along ( 3  ) Looking At Tomorrow all on the CBS label the above were also issued in the USA on the Columbia label but they had a fourth release in the USA called ( 4 ) Hurtin All Over so it was the fourth title i was looking for. Yes i am also looking for it on vinyl myself. 8) 8) 8)
