The Beatmen were from Slovakia.

Not these guys, those Beatmen were a different band. This is The Notts Beatmen.

I'm from Nottingham & have never heard of these gents before. Love this song, it sounds a bit like The Zombies, I think? Did they release anything else?

[richardsnow]

@diskochimp Yes it is quite Zombiesque. The b side is also on my account, I think it's better than the a side.

They also released another single prior to this one. more of a traditional beat group sound but then it was 1964, called You can't sit down. It's on you tube

[diskochimp]

@richardsnow Are you from Nottm yourself, Richard? And do you have any connection with the band? I'd be interested to know what they got up to after this single (if anything)? Any info would be appreciated...

Am not so keen on the earlier You Can't Sit Down single, but both sides of this one are A+ terrific!

@diskochimp tried to send you a message, but I;'m blocked till you accept me as "friend"

The short version of my message is, 1 member is dead I think. I don't know the band but have exchanged some messages online with a couple of them.
