Does anyone know who was sued by Lucozade for infringement of advertising following their debut single? OR Which 60's band was fronted by captain webb? OR even which football team recorded a song with The Fab Four?

Lucozade: Adamski - see your other question.

[trilobite]

Lucozade threatened to sue Adamski over the cover of his single 'N-R-G' which featured the artist's name as the label on a lucozade bottle. Action was dropped after a suitable donation was made to charity and the single's cover changed.

Smith Klyne Beecham, the manufacturers of Lucozade, then realised the potential of marketing their energy drink to clubbers, and soon after used Adamski's song title 'N-R-G'  in their own advertising, mimicking the original cover of the single.

A case of life imitating art imitating life !!
