Gloomy projections of London's forthcoming tech decline are now ten-a-penny.

Articles regarding Hirst and the art market are ten a penny, but an understanding of the exhibition's economics is essential to understanding the reasons for its artistic failure.

Gay, lesbian, and trans folk are now ten-a-penny on TV and in film, which is obviously worth celebrating, but I still seek out the films, people, and artifacts that complicate or question, and these are frequently harder to come by.

He also released a single as the Ohio Express, an American bubblegum group. A hit came in 1974 with "Beach Baby" - Carter/Shakespeare by First Class in 1974.

Kincade was an English band that was formed in 1972. In that year, they had their hit single, "Dreams are Ten a Penny", but the band itself did not exist at the time. The song was written by John Carter and his wife Gill.Liner notes Measure for Measure The John Carter Anthology 1961-1977, RPM Records, RPMD368 Carter also sang all the vocals and played the guitar on the record.

"Dreams Are Ten a Penny" eventually got on the charts in Australia, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, and South Africa. In order to promote the hit, Penny Farthing Records recruited John Knowles as the frontman for Kincade since Carter was reluctant to tour as the performing artist. Knowles was successful as the frontman for Kincade and went on to change his name to John Kincade. Consequently, Larry Page launched John Kincade as a solo artist, which resulted in several hit songs on the German charts from 1973 to 1975.

The site remains, but the hut has gone. The fishing companies in the Cove elected one, or as many as three, Huers per season for the vital job of directing and guiding the boats and their oarsmen listening and watching below in the oak seine boats to the best positions to cast their nets. The Huer worked from sunrise to sunset, six days a week, but not on Sunday. Many catches of pilchards would be released and lost if caught late on a Saturday and they could not be landed before dark. In 1811 pilchards from Mullion were being sold at Penzance at one shilling for 120 (or ten-a-penny).Royal Cornwall Gazette 18 August 1811 In the early 1800s fish were plentiful and the pilchard fishing took place in the summer and autumn months. In 1833 the season was considered over by October.Royal Cornwall Gazette 5 October 1833 The markets for Cornish pilchards in the 19th century were in the Mediterranean, with Italy the main buyer.

While there was some demand for live performances by the group, neither Carter nor Burrows had the time for or interest in touring, so a group including bassist Robin Shaw, lead singer Del John, guitarist Spencer James (since 1986 lead singer with The Searchers), keyboardist Clive Barrett and drummer Eddie Richards (like Burrows, a former member of Edison Lighthouse) was assembled to perform a number of dates as The First Class. Although that quintet was pictured and credited along with Carter, Burrows and Mills on the cover of the band's first album, none of the "live" quintet actually performed on "Beach Baby" or any of the album's other tracks. "Bobby Dazzler" and later singles "Dreams Are Ten a Penny", "Won't Somebody Help Me" and "Funny How Love Can Be" (a remake of the 1965 hit by The Ivy League, on which Carter had been one of the vocalists) failed to chart. After releasing an unsuccessful second album, SST, in 1976 (with a drawing of the Concorde supersonic transport airliner featured on the cover), Carter, Burrows and Mills saw no need to continue under the First Class moniker and the group effectively ceased to exist.
