Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the co-ordinates shown.

This is an ongoing series of caches to celebrate arguably the most influential decade in the history of popular music, the swinging sixties, so grab a granddad to help you out. The clues relate to artists, records &/or films of the decade and will require Internet searches to work out the final co-ordinates of the cache. What you have to find will be made clear in the narrative, but firstly you will need to work out the name of artist(s), song, album or film titles. As an added bonus for finding one of these SS caches, each cache will contain an additional clue to another SS cache. If you are lucky it may be one you will have yet to find, or not, as the case may be as the caches can be attempted in any order. To get you into the swing of things we start with a simple mystery to solve.

These miss-spelt insects cried out for assistance in a film, song and album of the same name long before one of them formed wings.

In 2012, the album was voted no. XXX on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time"

What was the UK release date of the single of the same name? (DD/MM/YYYY).

The running time of the film was AAA mins. (NOTE: 3 digits required.

Calculate XXX + DDMM + YYYY + AAA to find a 4 digit number EFGH

Formula for finding the cache is as follows…

N 52° (GH + 8). (FH+22, F-1).  E 001° (EH-8). (E+G, EF+3)
