The
twenty-ninth edition of YHO has on its cover a still of the wonderful Barry St.
John performing her version of Cry Like A
Baby on Beat Club back in 1969. The
title is borrowed from the Timi Yuro song of around the same time. And there is a very strong theme throughout
this issue of British soul productions and pop experimentation from the late
‘60s and early ‘70s. The starting point
really was finding a track on YouTube of Joe E. Young & the Toniks on the
Toast label and setting off on a voyage of discovery which wonderfully connected
in with all sorts of wonderful things.

those mentioned in this edition of YHO are:
Ø
Vicki Wickham and the Toast label
