Trash da Escócia para a Apple

Trash was a group from Glasgow, Scotland, consisting of Ian Crawford as lead singer, Fraser Watson on lead guitar, Colin Hunter-Morrison on bass, Ronald Leahy on organ and Timi Donald as percussionist. The band’s manager brought a tape of their recording of the Gerry Gofffin-Carole King song Road To Nowhere to Apple, where it was favorably received by George and Paul. The label quickly signed the group, then know as the Path finders. Because their name was considered old-fashioned, it was changed to White Trash. The name was shortened to Trash when the BBC informed Apple that it would not play the band’s record because their name was offensive. In America, Road To Nowhere b/w Illusions was released as Apple 1804 on March 3, 1969. The single did not chart. The group’s followup single, released as Apple 1811 on October 15, 1969, paired their recording of the Beatles Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight from the “Abbey Road” medley with Trash Can. When that single also failed to chart, Apple lost interest in the group.
