Jan & Kelly - And Then He Kicked Me


Jan & Kelly (Jan Hunt & Helen Kelly) released 5 singles and an EP between January 1963 and November 1964, they also appear in the film 'It's All Over Town' in which among other things they sneak into a Springfields song, I have the LP somewhere.

This record got quite a bit of airplay, and being often played on Two Way Family Favourites, none of their records made the charts, for a time I had the opening bars of this record as the ring tone on my mobile phone.

Jan would in the 1970's be a regular on the Children's TV show Crackerjack, the Wikipedia entry for Jan Hunt has no mention of her Jan & Kelly days.

My copy of this record is a normal stock copy, the records with 'Sample Record' stickers are part of the quality control process, when records were being manufactured one in every hundred records was played, if the record had a fault on the play back all the records pressed sing the previous record played were rejected, the records that were played had the 'Sample Record' sticker added and were sold at a discount in the staff shop, and not as a few people think that they are Demonstration records.
