Two of Each was a four piece vocal instrumental group in the late 60's. In 1967 they released a on the Decca label "Every Single Day" written by Paul Williams and Roger Nichols and featuring Mike Castro on guitar, John Conran on Bass, Mandy Campbell Moore as Vocalist and Tina James as drummer. The track was produced by Noel Walker ( aka Whistling Jack Smith !). Recorded at Decca's No1 studio in Hampstead the record was released and had moderate air play. The band featured on Juke Box Jury, hosted by David Jacobs, as the guest "secret" artist. This was real cloak and dagger stuff as they had to turn up at BBC Studios 5 minutes after the live show started. The panel that night consisted of Jackie Trent, Rolf Harris, Charollet Rampling and David Symonds a much respected BBC DJ. Symonds invited them onto his Radio Show the next morning. Jackie Trent also offered to write a song with her partner Tony Hatch.

A few months later Mandy Campbell Moore left the band to follow an acting path and the band found themselves without a girl singer. While talking with Jackie Trent about the promised song it was mentioned that Jackies sister Mally Page was looking for a band to join. So Mally joined Two of Each. Tina James was replaced with Pat Nunn as drummer. Tow of Each parted company with Decca and went to Pye records. There they recorded several tracks, Summer of our Love, Trust and a cover of the Beatles song Here Comes the Sun. Somewhere in these times they caqnged the name to "Sweetcorn". Several tours of the UK, Europe and Australia followed and while on Australia they played on an Oz hit by resident American TV host Don Lane's hit "Your my Everything"

BBC Shows were part of the bands almost weekly input featuring on shows like Tony Blackburn, Terry Wogan, Dave Lee Travis. The BBC's Delaware Rd studio became almost a second home. Following the departure of John Conran and Mally Page, Sweetcorn continued with new members and found themselves, or rather Mike Castro and a new singer Tricia Roberts, found themselves back at Decca recording a cover of an American song called Precious and Few. This was probably one of the best vocal sounds produced by the the band, but due to not being able to find suitable replacements Sweetcorn folded in 1970. This last record was never released.
