In South Africa the McCoys' singles were issued on the Stateside label. Their album
was not released locally, but the single "Hang on sloopy" was hugely popular
and peaked at #2 on the Springbok charts in 1966. Two more singles "Fever/ Sorrow" and "Ko Ko/ Don't worry mother your son's heart is pure" were released
in SA but without any commercial success.
Andrew Loog Oldham also signed Fleetwood Mac to his Immediate label in 1969. They only recorded one single "Man of the world", IMJ 080, for the Label. The b side of the single "Somebody's gonna get their head kicked in tonite" was credited to Earl Vance & the
Valiants. The track was composed by Jeremy Spencer and not Jeremy Taylor as stated on the Immediate singles
web page. Ag pleeze daddy!!
