As of 2022, the group have been active for 60 consecutive years (despite announcing a breakup in 1984, they played <a href="/wiki/Live_Aid" title="Live Aid">Live Aid</a> the following year and resumed normal activities in 1986).<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> They have had over 60 chart hits in the UK – more than any other band<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> – including "<a href="/wiki/Pictures_of_Matchstick_Men" title="Pictures of Matchstick Men">Pictures of Matchstick Men</a>" (their first charting song), "<a href="/wiki/Caroline_(Status_Quo_song)" title="Caroline (Status Quo song)">Caroline</a>" (their first top 5 hit), and "<a href="/wiki/Down_Down" title="Down Down">Down Down</a>" (their only No. 1 hit).

In 1963, Key was replaced by <a href="/wiki/John_Coghlan_(drummer)" title="John Coghlan (drummer)">John Coghlan</a> and the band changed their name to The Spectres.<a href="#cite_note-The_Great_Rock_Discography-2">[2]</a> After changing their name, Lancaster's father arranged for the group to perform weekly at a venue called the Samuel Jones Sports Club, where they were noticed by Pat Barlow, a <a href="/wiki/Gasfitter" class="mw-redirect" title="Gasfitter">gasfitter</a> and budding <a href="/wiki/Talent_manager" title="Talent manager">pop music manager</a>.

By the end of 1965, Rossi and Parfitt – who had become close friends after meeting at <a href="/wiki/Butlins" class="mw-redirect" title="Butlins">Butlins</a> – made a commitment to continue working together. On 18 July 1966, the Spectres signed a five-year deal with <a href="/wiki/Piccadilly_Records" class="mw-redirect" title="Piccadilly Records">Piccadilly Records</a>, releasing two singles that year, "<a href="/wiki/I_(Who_Have_Nothing)" title="I (Who Have Nothing)">I (Who Have Nothing)</a>" (first recorded by <a href="/wiki/Joe_Sentieri" title="Joe Sentieri">Joe Sentieri</a> and most famously covered by <a href="/wiki/Tom_Jones_(singer)" title="Tom Jones (singer)">Tom Jones</a>) and "<a href="/wiki/Hurdy_Gurdy_Man_(The_Spectres_song)" title="Hurdy Gurdy Man (The Spectres song)">Hurdy Gurdy Man</a>" (an original song by Alan Lancaster), and one the next year called "<a href="/wiki/(We_Ain%27t_Got)_Nothin%27_Yet" title="(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet">(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet</a>" (originally recorded by New York psychedelic band the <a href="/wiki/Blues_Magoos" title="Blues Magoos">Blues Magoos</a>).<a href="#cite_note-The_Great_Rock_Discography-2">[2]</a> All three singles failed to make an impact on the <a href="/wiki/Record_chart" title="Record chart">charts</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Guinness_Rockopedia-19">[19]</a> In 1967, the group's sound began moving towards <a href="/wiki/Psychedelia" title="Psychedelia">psychedelia</a> and they renamed themselves Traffic, but were soon forced to change it to Traffic Jam to avoid confusion with <a href="/wiki/Steve_Winwood" title="Steve Winwood">Steve Winwood</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Traffic_(band)" title="Traffic (band)">Traffic</a>, following an argument over who had registered the name first.<a href="#cite_note-Guinness_Rockopedia-19">[19]</a> The band secured an appearance on BBC Radio's <a href="/wiki/Saturday_Club_(BBC_Radio)" title="Saturday Club (BBC Radio)">Saturday Club</a>, but in June their next single, "<a href="/wiki/Almost_But_Not_Quite_There" class="mw-redirect" title="Almost But Not Quite There">Almost But Not Quite There</a>" (an original song by Francis Rossi), underperformed. The following month saw Parfitt, at the request of manager Pat Barlow, joining the band as rhythm guitarist and vocalist.
