Cherokees - A Wonderous Place

A nice obscure British invasion 45.

You should also find "Dig A Little Deeper" also on MGM from this group. I'm not sure but I think they're actually Australian. I also have a 45 on the Aussie Go! label called "I've Gone Wild" by The Cherokees and I think they're the same band. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I will defer to your knowledge. I will need to keep an eye out for those others.

I'm sure they were British - there was another Australian group with the same name. I think this lot were from Liverpool - they certainly feature on a Mersey sound comp. This is a fine version of Billy Fury's hit - I prefer it.
Thanks for finding the time to post these gems. I envy you being able to pick up all the garage and beat singles. Hard to do that anymore in the UK!

This group is British, from Leeds;
there were Australian and American groups by the same name.

A few years on this group renamed itself to the hipper "New York Public Library"

This track was released in the UK on Columbia.
