The band Capricorn consisted of Sue Avory (lead
vocals), Unwin Brown (drums), Colin Travers (guitar) and Steve Pryor
(bass). They were much more popular in Japan than they were in the
UK.
Their first single was 'Hello Liverpool', a song written by Marty
Wilde and Ronnie Scott. It features the song 'How did you find me',
written by the same duo, on the B-side. In the UK, the single appeared in a record company sleeve, but the Japanese version was much prettier, featuring a picture sleeve. I was lucky enough to find a copy for a reasonable price some time ago.
The single was released in 1970 and reached number 1 in the
Japanese singles chart. Two years later the band won the World Popular Song Festival in Japan,
representing the UK with the song 'Feeling'. A couple of years later the
band split up.
