After a brief time in the wilderness, Worth Every Penny was finally appreciated by the song buying public of the UK. In comparison to the music they would create, the album was rather tame, but it still opened up many doors for them within the industry and beyond. It allowed the boys to stay out of the dole queue and continue making the music they loved.

Trivia: The title track of the album sold well as a single, while the album track, Green and Pleasant was used as the opening title theme song of the short lived children’s nature show, Let’s Get Outdoors!

The Refunds really lent into the money motifs after releasing Worth Every Penny. It became their trademark on all merchandise and promotion material while promoting the album. It was fortuitous too, that the money from the album allowed them to work full time as musicians.

Trivia: For two years, all ticket prices to see The Refunds ended in .99p so that each gig owner would have to give everyone a penny back as change. The venue managers weren’t too impressed, but it was a fun gimmick that gave all audience members a nice memento of the gig.

The cheeky chaps of Chester, The Refunds, first got together in 1962. Members Pete, James, Harry, and Henry were all out of work before they started playing their melodic and catchy pop tunes to the masses. Since they burst onto the UK music scene with their classic style, plenty of other bands have been inspired and delighted by them.
