TRENT
Trent belonged to songwriters Tony Hatch and Jackie
Trent. It issued only two singles, both in 1972 and both
football-related. 1972 was the year that Stoke City got to the League
Cup Final; in celebration of that appearance the team's supporters recorded, 'We'll Be
With You' (JT-100; 2/72), to which Gordon Banks and Friends responded with,
'We'll Be Together' (JT-101). Presumably Banks's friends included
the rest of the Stoke team; the B-side was credited to them. Manufacture and distribution
were by Pye. The singles remained on catalogue
until at least 1974, though sales in the wake of the cup final -
which Stoke won, beating Chelsea 2-1 - must have been fairly small.
