"Swinging" mission: the Salvation Army pop group The Joystrings
at their first recording at Abbey Road. From 1963 to 1968, the
group evangelised for a new era of coffee bars and electric
guitars, and even performed in the Playboy Club. Its first single,
in 1964, was "It's an Open Secret". Sylvia Dalziel, a group member
who married its bass drummer, has written The Joystrings: The
story of the Salvation Army pop group, enhanced by numerous
evocative publicity and news photos (Shield Books, £14.95;
