Geocache Description:


This is one of a series of 50 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.

Recorded by French nobility, This 7” single and LP of the same name was banned on some US radio stations for ridiculing the mentally ill, yet it still reached the top 5 in both the US & UK charts. How, I do not know, while most of the songs in this series are in my record collection, this one certainly isn’t. Hearing it initiates in me what the song is all about.

Find the DOB of the songwriter (DD/MM/YYYY)

And the record label no. of the single. (XXXX)

Calculate DDMMYYYY+XXXX  to get PQRSTUV

The cache is not at the co-ordinates given, but can be found in the vicinity of

North (RV-S)  (PT-V).(RP x R)

East (TU-SR) . (PR).(VUT-RQ)
