The Temperance Seven photographed by Duffy in 1962 for Town magazine's January 1963 issue. The previous year, they reached Number 1 in the UK charts with the hit single - "You're Driving Me Crazy", produced by George Martin.
These shots were used in a 1963 Christmas/January Issue of Town Magazine for a feature called 'Rooty-Toot Shirts.' The article told a Western story across six images, with this being the final in the series.
The caption read:
Bring out your rubber-tyred carriage, Roll out your rubber-tyred hack. There's nine men going to the graveyard, Only eight men coming back... (It was the smartest tailgate funeral ever: they wore (on the carriage, left to right) a non-iron lilac poplin by Mekay, £1 19s 1ld; a grey gingham with rounded tab collar and double cuffs. By Hardy Amies for Radiac, £3 9s; and a lilac end-and-end poplin with rounded white collar and double cuffs, by Valusta, about 3 gns. Hats from Dunn & Co, guns from Hamleys, boots by Anello & Davide, Erankie's costume by M. Berman Shops for the shirts listed on page 87)
