It took the merest mention of the name Samuel Amphong to send the parish racing to the 'compose' tab to share their recollections of this bit player in rock and roll's ancient pantomime. He originally appeared in the NME's letters page back...but let parishioner DANNY BAKER take up the story....
"The phrase 'where is Beatles band?' started off a genuine letter from one Samuel K. Amphong of Thailand who startled awake Charles Shaar Murray, up until that point grudgingly on the week's arduous Gasbag patrol. Then he opened a strange scrawled envelope bearing an exotic foreign stamp. It ran, "NME! Where is Beatles band? This band who have not been as of late clear of circumstance. Beatles Band! Can we no longer hear there medolious throng? John! Paul! All in Beatles Band come forth! What question have we to put? Now? Arguments neccessary can begin with whole results expected for any return. Ringo! Here in Thailand Beatles band experience is long loved and can be hurt away from John, Paul etc. Please give any news to Samuel K. Amphong of address similar to above. yours as in rock! Samuel K Amphong." As you can imagine such rare script in no way made the inhabitants of Carnaby Street speak in an affected idiotic manner for the next six months because, as we are all aware, hacks in rock offices hate esoteric jokes and things like that. Not a single thing was ever "medolius" that's for sure. The only thing that they hate more than buzz words and private gags is upping the ante, and so, I close by asking is it too late to say I hate Rock Follies?�
This could prove as difficult an issue to 'bottom out' as Alistair's Campbell's dossiers. Parishioner TIM EARNSHAW has this version of the original letter: "My question, "popmusic" fans, is WHERE IS BEATLESBAND? Thes swinging foursome break all "popmusic" records with happy tunes but DISSAPEAR when "JOHN" marry Oko Yono, distressing "fans" all over world with zany art HAPENINGS; make scratch heads!!!! So, "popfans" the world over, my question WHERE IS BEATLESBAND? Do we hear a new "LP" from those long-haired lovers from LIVERPOOL??? Samuel AMPHONG"
There is something about that sudden lurch into CAPS that suggest authenticity. Parishioner FAT PAULIE adds that AMPHONG was namechecked on the first Higsons single, "I Don't Want To Live With Monkeys". Can any parishioners use the Interweb to find out anything more about this man. Does he know he is revered in a distant land? Isn't this what happened to the Duke Of Edinburgh in certain Polynesian Islands?
