When:

Short story:

Peter And Gordon arrive in Los Angeles, California, USA, for their first tour of the USA.

Peter Asher : Screaming girls at the airport were carrying big signs that said, 'We love you, Peter And Gordon', and tearing at our clothes. That was thoroughly enjoyable.

The business was very badly organised back then. The gigs were horrible. They were in some awful gym or roller rink. It was a good thing our shows lasted only half an hour because there were no stage monitors and we couldn't hear ourselves. The production aspects of the shows were very amateurish then. It was a complete nightmare.

The good side was, I enjoyed singing with Gordon. He's a terrific singer. We sang very good harmony together.

I always saw myself as a harmony singer, not a lead singer, so I never wanted to be the guy in front of the band.

I greatly enjoyed being in America, being in LA. Here I was with a No1 record, driving down Sunset Boulevard for the first time in my life in a convertible Mustang, while girls recognised me and asked if they could jump in the car. Life doesn't get much better than that.
