Jesamine - The Casuals

The Casuals formed in 1961. After working in the music industry for six years, John Tebb, Howard Newcombe, Alan Taylor and Bob O'Brien switched record labels and recorded a cover of 'When Jesamine goes', originally released in February 1968 by the Bystanders. The song was written by Marty Wilde and Ronnie Scott under the pseudonyms Frere Manston and Jack Gellar. The single reached number 2 in late 1968.

The B-side of this 'Old gold' single is 'I can't let Maggie go' by Honeybus. This song reached number 8 in the UK singles chart in April 1968.
