Top Coventry combo produced by Andrew Loog Oldham when he wasn't messin' with the Stones. The band re-emerged later in the guise of Jigsaw, who charted #9 with Sky High in 1975
Met Mike Linnell at the recording of COUNTDOWN in Manchester;he was a little shell-shocked after the thrashing he took in the game (which he admitted as such),but he was a nice bloke.
Bloody great song.My 60s band have just added it to our play list.

Imo this is possibly the most underated songs of all time.
Recorded by several Groups, I think this is possibly the best version, even then it was only a minor hit in 64.
Other Groups have put a harder shall we say more raw edge to it but all excellent.
At the time there were so many Top Class Groups/Tracks that I think this just got swallowed up in the general euphoria of 64.
Never fully appreciated.
I believe The Herd recorded it somewhere,unable to find it...anyone any ideas please.

I think this a brilliant record, one of the best 60s tracks.No one understands why it was not a bigger hit in 1964.
However check out The Inmates version of it . slightly differnt but with a sort of raw, hard edge to it, a very good and interesting track.
I am interested in what others think of it.
