DOWNLOAD NO.109 - BILL AND BOYD

BILL AND BOYD WERE FROM N.Z. THEY KICKED OF THEIR INVASION OF THE OZ CHARTS IN 1964 WITH "CHULU CHULULU" WHICH WENT TO #9.

IT WAS A CUTE SONG WITH A"PACIFIC ISLAND" FEEL. IT SOUNDS LIKE A BEACH BOYS SONG DUBBED WITH EVERLY BROTHER'S VOICES. IT WAS RECORDED LIVE AT THE ROTORUA SOUND SHELL N.Z. in 1963 AND RELEASED ON THE PHILLIPS LABEL. THE BOYS LEFT N.Z. TO MAKE THEIR FORTUNE IN OZ AND BY 1968 THEY WERE TOURING AMERICA WITH THE SUPREMES AND AND HERB ALPERT .
