Charley,
We never found out. Alan died of leukemia in 1967 (I think it was). But we were given the extra 'Deep blue ocean' verse on the Isle of Wight in 1975/6 by another guy who just sang us the verse and then disappeared before we could nail him (Ken Shephens was there as the time). You couldn't make it up, could you!
