Gary Thain Rarities

The Strangers

Arthur Thain, Gary Thain, Graeme Ching, Dave Beattie

Started as a cover band, The Strangers were part of the New Zealand music
scene of the mid sixties.  Though they never made a impact world wide, 
they had a good bit of local interest.  The band had two Thains in the
lineup, Gary and his brother Arthur.  Only six songs are known to exist, the
following are four of those recordings.

1. Pretend 1964
2. Alright 1964
3. Can't Help Forgiving You 1965
4. I’ll Never Be Blue1965

The Secrets

Derek Wright, Wayne "Biggy" Allen, Gary Thian, Paul Muggleston

Formally known as The Dynamics, two members left and one the new members 
to join was Gary Thain in 1965.  The only known recording to surface we've found 
are of the single from 1966 of It's You and You're Wrong.  The later track was
co-written by Gary, but it's incomplete.  We've yet to locate the complete song. 

1. It's You 1966
2.You're Wrong 1966
