On this day, 26 October 1968, Melody Maker announced that Cardiff band Amen Corner will have a new single release on December 6 and next week start work on their second album.
The album will include four tracks that were recorded live - probably at the Sophia Gardens before an invited audience.
The band will take its annual holiday for two weeks over the Christmas period in the West Indies.
Also in the news, Swansea-born Spencer Davis announced the names of his two new group members. They are drummer David Hynes and bass guitarist Dee Murray. Both were former members of Hertfordshire group the Mirage.
They replace Peter York and Eddie Hardin who left the group last week.
The group fly to Germany for the premiere of the hippy musical Hair, in Munich. Spencer has recorded a German version of "Aquarious."
