Cindy & The Saffrons - Terry (RCA)

If Terry were still alive, perhaps he could rev up the old bike and run down those responsible for this faithful remake of Twinkle's moment of glory. Nearly 20 years later and they still manage to leave out any irony. (Mark Cooper, Record Mirror, April 16, 1983)

You'll know this '60s classic; it's all about a guy called Terry who drives off in a huff on his motorbike and snuffs it, then hangs around the gates of heaven for the girl that put him there in the first place. Cindy herself is better known as Joanne Whalley, and has done much on TV, stage and screen. Sung in true '60s style, but I wonder if this song is just too familiar to storm the charts. (Debbi Voller, No 1, May 14, 1983)
