Chris Curtis left the Searchers in April 1966, two months later he released his one and only single titled Aggravation written by Joe South and b/w Have I Done Something Wrong written by himself.

In the UK, in the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark it came out on Pye, 7N - 17132. In Australia it was on the Astor label AP 1269.

The only known chart entry was in Sweden, the song entered the hitparade on August 27^th, reached number nine and stayed for three weeks.

Chris appeared at Ready Steady Go on July 1^st, 1966 (together with the Hollies and Dusty Springfield).

Because of this unsuccessful single Pye wasn’t interested in further recordings by Chris.

CC: Yeah, don’t give me any, that’s it. It’s a Joe South song and it had a good riff. I had Jimmy Page, Joe Moretti, John Paul Jones and Vic Flick on that record. I did my Tom Jones hard rock voice and I was really loud. I knew I had a voice that would record well but it wouldn’t have worked with Tony Hatch as he was not a funky chap. I just did the one single ‘cause I’d had enough. I’d shown I could do it.
