Trivia time -- Warrnambool Standard 1st Apr. 2005 - ©Copyright Warrnambool Standard  2005.  All rights reserved. Rock historian Chris Spencer is back on the trail of south-west musical trivia and hopes Standard readers can help out. Bendigo-based Chris has received a copy of a record single recorded by the Mod Squad, featuring covers of Green Green Grass of Home and Your Cheatin' Heart. The record includes details on the band's line up - John Maher, Peter Bird, Eion Cameron and Richard Barns. "My query this time is, in what year was the record released?" Chris said. "The catalogue number of the record is MC&-022, which does not fit in with other releases I have documented on the (Tower Hill Records) label". Any helpers can contact Stand and Deliver.
