My band The Presidents was signed to Decca Records in the mid 1960s and a recording we made of a song titled She said Yeah which was written by Roddy Jackson and the late Sonny Bono and was passed Decca but somehow the acetate (the original cutting) was lost. 53 years later it has been found and is to be released by Ace Records, Harlesden, London in June 2018 on a compilation CD. As lead guitarist Martin was over here from Australia for a holiday I managed to get all the original members back together and make a video of the recording. We have a combined age of 380 years so a little older than The Rolling Stones who we once supported!! The late Ian Stewart (the 5th Stone) was a good friend of ours and he loved this song and The Stones actually included their version on their Decca album Out of Our Heads - I always thought that was a bit odd I mean our version lost and they bring it out!
