Like many other Shadows fans (OK, probably just me!!) I've been intrigued for a long time by Brian Bennett mentioning the rehearsals for Rockin' With Curly Leads, which took place in a Scout hut in Finchley apparently, "...with an old biddy bringing us plates of sandwiches." He told this story in an interview with Rob Bradford in Pipeline magazine about 20 years ago.
Recently I was looking at eBay when I came across these two foreign picture sleeves for the Turn Around and Touch Me single...

(Sorry, I need a lesson in posting and sizing photos in messages).
My first thought was...I've never seen this picture before, and my second thought was - could they have been taken in the afore-mentioned Scout hut? Hank looks like he's sitting in a serving hatch in a village hall-type building. (Ok, my third thought should have been "Who cares?!"...I'll get that in before anyone else does! Yes - a grown man of 53 ought to have better things to do on a Sunday afternoon...) What do you reckon, Chris?
