I used that cover info site to solve a mystery that's been bugging me for a while: I have a couple of versions of the song "Up, Up and Away" -- one by the Fifth Dimension, and one by Nancy Sinatra. I was finally able to figure out who did the original before both of them. Thank you!!! Dimmie, the information in your comment has been very useful!

But honestly, I don't know much about The Tremeloes myself ;) I only know them from the Dutch and British radio and I have them on some oldies compilations. Their hits in the Netherlands (in a alfabetic order as I have seem to lost my HitDossier, a Dutch book with chart rankings of singles since 1956, and had to get the info of a website): (Call me) Number one #19 1969 Even the bad times are good #7 1967 Hello Buddy #36 1971 Helule helule #26 1968 Here comes my baby #16 1967 I like it that way #9 1972 Me and my life #33 1970 My little lady #3 1968 Once on a Sunday morning #27 1969 Right wheel, left hammer, sham #32 1971 Silence is golden #4 1967 And something cool to save time when searching for originals of covers: http://www.coverinfo.de/index.php?page=lang It's in German but easy to understand. It shows The Strangeloves as the original artist for "I want candy". And they're American :) According to the almighty AMG the guys from that group also wrote The Angels' "My Boyfriend's Back" :D I can’t believe you never listened to The Tremeloes before :o
