From OP: Cortleigh 1073. The Dave Clark Five. Was Ricky Astor & The Switchers a real group? Probably not. This album was a very common deceptive cash-in album from the 60's where a casual glance would make you think this was a Dave Clark album. In actuality only 2 Dave Clark tracks were used and the rest were by Ricky Astor. Most likely they were studio musicians who were given a day of recording time to fill out the album. BTW, although you would think it's a typo the song title using "Fjord" is how it's spelled on the label and cover. Since a fjord is never mentioned in the lyrics I imagine it was a mistake that no one caught.
