[bomp] Re: Regents Exam

[Dirty Water <dirtywaterclub@xxxxxxxxx>]

Record Collector's Price Guide has the "Words" /
"Worryin' Kind" band (on CBS) listed as being from the
UK.

There was an earlier UK band called the Regents, who 
had a 1963 single on Oriole - "Bye Bye Johnny" / "Come
Along".

The only other Regents to have a UK release is an
American group in 1961 who had two singles released on
Columbia, one being a version of "Barbara Ann" and the
other a version of "Runaway".

There was a late seventies Regents as well who had a
45 on the Rialto label - "7 Teen" / "Hole in the
Heart".
