Formerly the backup band for Elton John on Rock of the Westies, and for Kiki Dee, they now leave the world of teeny-bopper 45s and enter a realm of more creative and significant expression...
Suspicions rose about who, exactly, was being allowed to depart. Rumors persisted that the Cuban Premier was releasing common criminals from jail and ordering them on the boats, partly to prove his charge that those fleeing his island are "lumpens and antisocials." Crowed Radio Havana: "The U.S. has always wanted to pick the best brains of our people. Let them also pick up the bums...
