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.
