The Animals
Capitol 72171 |
House Of The Rising Sun / Talkin’ ‘Bout You |
|
|
|
Capitol 72180 |
Baby Let Me Take You Home / Gonna Send You Back To Walker |
|
|
|
Capitol 72185 |
I’m Crying / Take It Easy |
|
All of these were released in Canada in 1964.
One LP was also issued on Capitol (see T-6092, Sept. 1964) Thereafter, MGM appears to have negotiated the rights to their discs in North America (MGM Animals albums originally appeared on the Quality label in Canada). This change appears to have been the same for Herman’s Hermits who had their first 45 issued on Capitol in Canada before moving over to Quality/MGM. |
|
The John Barry Seven
Capitol 72036 |
Cutty Sark / Lost Patrol |
|
|
|
Capitol 72064 |
James Bond Theme / Blacksmith Blues |
|
This 45 was issued in Canada in 1962. |
|
The Beach Boys
Capitol 72182 |
Little Honda / When I Grow Up |
|
This was the only Beach Boys 45 issued on Capitol in Canada that did not follow a US release number and was probably issued on the back of the demand for the song which USA fans would have had access to on the Capitol USA EP «Four By The Beach Boys» (USA Capitol EP R-5267). No copies of this Capitol EP were pressed in Canada. «Little Honda» was a popular tune in Canada during the summer of 1964, tying in with the arrival of the new motorbike of the same name, although it does not appear to have made the CHUM charts. |
|
Capitol 5245 |
Wendy / She Knows Me Too Well |
|
To tie in with this 45, Capitol of Canada altered the A-side of Capitol 5245. In the USA, Capitol 5245 consisted of «When I Grow Up (To Be A Man) / She Knows Me To Well». As this A-side was already issued as the flip of Little Honda in Canada, Capitol of Canada issued Capitol 5245 as «Wendy / She Knows Me Too Well» in September 1964. |
|
Capitol 1001 |
Heroes And Villains / You’re Welcome |
|
Issued late 1966, this odd 45 was issued in Canada on the orange swirl label with a Capitol picture sleeve that was sent up from the US – actually, the leftover sleeves from Capitol US after the Capitol 45 was withdrawn/switched to the Beach Boys own Brother/Reprise label as Brother 1001. The original US Capitol release number was blocked out in black and the 1001 number was printed beside it. |
|
Capitol 1002 |
Getting’ Hungry / Devoted To You |
(Brian Wilson & Mike Love) |
This is the Canadian version of the US Brother 1002 45 but as there was no picture sleeve issued in the US, the Canadian Capitol release was issued without a picture sleeve. |

ST-6351 |
Let It Be |
|
May 1970. It bears a Capitol catalogue number but the LP was issued on the Apple label.
Vault records indicate ST but the actual box/LP sleeve release carry the catalogue number SOAL-6351 (the fourth and RAREST Beatles LP release on the 6000 series. The LP was
issued in Canada as a box set with tray, book, and sticker. In the US, the LP was handled by United Artists and was limited to only a fold open cover) In November of 1972, the box set was deleted from the Capitol catalogue and was replaced with SW-6386 which was just the Lp itself. The rear sleeve of SW-6386 indicates that the LP was previously issued as SOAL-6351. |
|
SW-6386 |
Let It Be |
|
Released in 1972, this is the fifth and final Beatles LP to be released on the Capitol 6000 serie |

The Bonzo Dog Dooh-dah Band
Capitol 72416 |
Allez Oop / Button Up Your Overcoat |
|
This 1966 release was the same as the second UK Parlophone 45 release in England. Their first 45 release in England, «My Brother Makes The Noises For The Talkies / I’m Gonna Bring A Watermelon To My Gal Tonight» (Parlophone R5430) was not released by Capitol of Canada.
Three years later in 1969, the Bonzos were to support the Kinks on their 1969 North American tour which included Canada. |

Simon Dupree And The Big Sound
Capitol 72522 |
Kites * / Like The Sun Like The Fire |
|
(* with Jacquie Chan)This 45 was released in Canada during 1967 owing to it making the top ten in the UK charts in that year. Another similar release in Canada was by Keith West (72510) and of course these top ten hits in England sank without trace in Canada.
An LP was indeed released (pre Kites !) and this mirrored the Tower release in the US. |
|
(S)T-6266 |
Without Reservations |
|
Tower, March 4, 1968. The group hailed from Southampton in England and was comprised primarily of the Shulman brothers who were all multi-instrumentalists. The brothers were later to found the progressive rock group «Gentle Giant» and I was fortunate enough to see them live at The Auditorium, The High School Of Commerce in Ottawa, Ontario (March 21, 1973). No, they didn’t play their earlier hit ‘Kites» but they were still fantastic live! |

Herman's Hermit
Capitol 72183 |
I’m Into Something Good / Your Hand In Mine |
|
November 1964
This was the only release by Herman’s Hermits on Capitol before they were migrated in Canada to Quality/MGM.
Paul Shaffer recalls an incredible pop concert at the Fort William Gardens (hockey rink) on August 26, 1967 when Herman’s Hermits, The Blues Magoos, and The Who «popped into» Fort William via private plane for an afternoon concert. Herman and his Hermits were «top of the bill» but Paul and his friends drove back to the Fort William airport immediately after The Who had completed their opening set with smoke bombs ! Paul and company managed to catch up with The Who at the airport as the group waited for their plane to fly them to their next gig (at 8 PM that same evening !) at the Duluth Arena (another hockey rink !) in Duluth, Minnesota.
Paul met The Who and was absolutely «gob-smacked» by Keith Moon (The Loon !). That must have been some gig to see ! Possibly on the same day, The Yardbirds were playing a ski resort in Hunstville, Ontario (see separate entry) to a handful of teenagers in cottage country !
The Fort William News Chronicle reported a «bomb scare at the finale» of this show. |

Don Tapscott, nephew of Carl Tapscott (see LP SN-6297) recalls seeing the Hollies at the Hidden Valley Holiday Inn Resort near Huntsville, Ontario in either the summer of 1968 or 1969 (date to be confirmed and also whether Graham Nash was in the lineup).

The Highway Code / The Rumbletum Song |
|

|
Capitol 72466 |
Weather Forecast / Roadilore |
|
The Master Singers did very well in the UK «pop» charts with their classical «voices only» rendition of the UK driver’s «rules of the road». Given that Canadian «rules of the road» are much different (eg we drive on the other side of the road !) and that the «Highway Code» does not mean the same thing in Canada as it does in England, much of the humour of the song was lost on the un-suspecting Canadian public. |

Mrs. Mills
Mrs. Mills was very well known in England and recorded many albums with her very distincive Honky Tonk Piano sound. So distinctive that the piano she always used at Abbey Road Studios was renamed "the Mrs Mills piano" amongst the personnel. It was used on many late Beatles recordings and is still used today!
Mrs Mills reached the climax of her fame around the same time The Beatles did. She was originally recruted by a talent scout and made a name for herself by 1962. She was then signed to a mangement contract by the same person who managed The Dave Clark Five and The Rolling Stones (Eric Easton). She was signed to Parlophone, and therefore was issued on the 6000 series in Canada. Her work consisted of Honky Tonk piano versions of standard british and international hits as well as covers of contemporary hits.
Mrs. Mills was so popular in Canada that she toured across Canada (with her family in tow! ) in the late 1960s. She must have been so surprised by her popularity and success in Canada. In the 1960s in Canada, her records sold in quantities that neared the popularity of Herb Alpert. That is why you come across so many copies of her Lps in the used record shops and bargain bins at the charity shops across Canada nowadays. She was a big seller for Capitol records Of Canada during the 1960s and many of her Lps were re-issued in the 1970s. God Bless her!

Three «Capitol 6000» series LPs were issued in Canada:
- Piper At The Gates Of Dawn (on the black rainbow label)
- A Saucerful Of Secrets (on the black rainbow label)
- More (on the green target label)
These were also released by Tower in the USA but tracks and artwork did differ. The first two Canadian LP releases were more like their British counterparts.

Cliff Richard albums (not sure about 45s) were issued in Canada on ABC/Paramount by Sparton Records of London, Ontario before Cliff’s discs were issued by Capitol. Capitol albums (using the USA numbering) were distributed from a London, Ontario headquarters in the 1950s so that may account for the link with Sparton Records. «Listen To Cliff» was an album issued on the ABC/Paramount label in Canada and distributed by Sparton. Cliff Richard as well as The Shadows in their own right, issued many LPs on the Capitol 6000 series (see LP section).

The first three 45s were issued in 1964. Two LPs were issued by the «SBJ» (see LP section) and the second LP is almost impossible to find . I haven’t confirmed any further singles and there may be others as the SBJ were popular in Canada.

The songs were written and produced by Mark Wirtz (TBD) who also released an LP in Canada in late 1967 or early 1968 entitled «Mood Mosaic» (Capitol Studio Two STAW 15039, Stereo) that featured the great instrumental song «A Touch Of Velvet, A Sting Of Brass» which was previously released in 1966 as a single: |

Ian Whitcomb, an expatriate Brit, released his first US 45 on Jerden in 1965 and then was picked up by Tower. The Canadian Capitol releases mirror the Tower USA releases including and following his success with the smash «You Turn Me On».
The original Bluesville included Mick Molloy (lead guitar), Deke O’Brien (rhythm guitar), Gerry Ryan (bass guitar), Ian McGarry (drums), and Ian Whitcomb (piano) and the initial recordings were made in Dublin where Ian was attending Trinity College; they appear on the tracks on the first Capitol LP (see T-6138 «You Turn Me On» from September 1965).
Later recordings by Ian Whitcomb made in London used such session musicians as Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and Mitch Mitchell. The second Capitol 6000 LP, «Mod, Mod, Music Hall» (T-6209, released on November 7, 1966) was also a Tower USA release (Tower 5036).
