The Symbols were an English pop music band that originally formed as Johnny Milton and the Condors, featuring John Milton (vocals), Mick Clarke (bass guitar), Shaun Corrigan (lead guitar), and Clive Graham (drums). Their debut single under the new name, "One Fine Girl," produced by Mickie Most, did not achieve commercial success. Throughout their career, the band underwent several line-up changes, with members such as Joe Baccini (bass), Sean Corrigan (guitar), and Chris (Chas) Wade (drums) joining at various times. A cover of "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" also failed to garner mainstream attention, and by 1966, they found themselves without a record contract. Mick Clarke briefly left to perform with The Tremeloes, where he introduced the song "Silence Is Golden" to the group before returning to The Symbols. They were eventually signed by Ed Kassner at President, who needed a harmony band to cover "See You In September." Although this record did not sell well due to distribution issues, it opened the door for more singles, including "Bye Bye Baby," which later became a hit for the Bay City Rollers, and "Best Part Of Breaking Up," which reached number 25 in January 1968. The Symbols continued to perform until 1972, after which Mick Clark joined The Rubettes, while Chas Wade and John Milton played with the pub-rock band JJ Foote
