The Characters first single featured 'Tell Me', a fast paced, exciting number reflecting the mersey-beat era and was written in just 5 minutes by Gilbert M Rozon. The track was laid down in 3 takes and it became the Character's signature hit song for 1966.
The flip side 'There's Always Time for Love' is reminiscent of early 'Staccatos' material flavoured with a 'Canadian Classics' beat style. The original track ran 4min, 33 secs, but the producers (Vern Craig, Les Emerson and Sandy Gardiner) all said it needed to be cut down to under 3 minutes. So two verses, a chorus, a bridge, intro to chorus and fade were all chopped, which meant half the meaning of the song was left out.
