When:
Short story:
You're Driving Me Crazy by The Temperance Seven on Parlophone Records is the new No1 single in the UK.
Full article:
Sir George Martin (record producer) : I was 29 when I was given the job of heading Parlophone, the youngest ever. The powers that be at EMI were thinking of closing down the label, and they were giving it to me because I was cheap. If I was going to make a success of it I had to do something different.
The first change came when, having heard about four boys from Cambridge [Jonathan Miller, Dudley Moore, Peter Cook and Alan Bennett], I recorded five nights with them, and that was Beyond the Fringe. The second came when I issued You're Driving Me Crazy and it got to number one. Little Parlophone had gone to the top.
