Were led by Richie Knight (real name Richard Hubbard). A group of friends got together in the late 50s but by 1961 their line-up was complete. A year later they were playing the Yonge St. strip in Toronto where they were seen by an A&R guy from Arc Records.
In early 1963 the band went in to record their first single: Charlena. The studio was actually just the label’s office and storage during the day, doubling as the studio at night. With metal garbage pails lifted off the floor and stuffed with rags to stifle any sound the band started the recording process. There were to be no overdubs, vocals and instruments were to be laid down as one item on a mono tape recorder. The process took a few hours stopping each time there was any error or to move microphones and even one time due to a train passing behind the buildings which had no sound proofing. Four hours later Charlena and its B-side, James Brown's "You Got The Power", were completed.

Produced by Dave Davies 1980
Recorded at Konk Sound, London by John Rollo
Mastered at Masterdisc, NYCDavid Russell Gordon Davies (born London UK 3 February 1947)
Davies has played a number of guitars over time, the most recognizable of which is his Gibson Flying V. Davies bought it in 1965, and soon began appearing live and on TV performances with it. Davies was one of the few guitarists who played Flying Vs at the time. It was, in that period, out of issue due to lack of interest upon its 1958 test release, and models were numbered. Guitarists like Lonnie Mack, Jimi Hendrix, Albert King and Davies himself helped stir interest in the instrument, and it would eventually become one of the signature guitars of the heavy metal era.
Davies commented on his Flying V:
“I used to play a Guild custom built guitar and the airline lost it on our first American tour in '64 or '65. ... I had to get a replacement quick. I went into a store and they didn't have anything I liked. I saw this dusty old guitar case and I said "What have you got in there?" he said "Oh, that's just some silly old guitar." He got it out and I bought it for about $60.”
