HERMAN'S "A Must To Avoid" is a comedy record - he should watch his diction. My friends thought he was singing: "She's A Muscular Boy" and I was certain he was singing "She's A Must To A Boy."


"Must To Avoid" (Columbia SEG 8477) do two home hits - "A Must To Avoid" and "Just A Little Bit Better" with their U.S. smash "I'm Henry The Eighth" and the Goffin-King "Walkin' With My Baby".

    Friday was the first anniversary of the formation of Herman's Hermits. I spoke to Herman on the telephone at the "Scene At 6:30" television studios in Manchester.
    "It's rather funny really because the first television we did was a talent spot on 'Scene At 6:30' and here we are again doing it," he said.
    "To celebrate we're going to have a bit of a party at Mr. Smith's in Manchester tonight."
