Sometimes a cover is better than the original. This is such a rare occasion. Vince Taylor was the true King of Rock and Roll!

I really like this track. I never know about this band. Maybe in contrast to this band, it´s very interesting to check up all those great unknown bands from the 60s that didn´t "reach the highest level". Listen (youtube) to:

THE ZETTLERS and their versions of "Skinnie Minnie" and "Beautiful Delilah".

(What a bloody f.....g driving beat.)

THE GANTS in "Greener Days".

(High class, kind of Mersey Sound, from The Deep South - USA)

THE GOLLIWOGS in "Tell me".

(Check up the singer - Yes, it´s him!!!)

The original was recorded by Johnny Kidd and The Pirates 1960 and was not a hit outside Europe before 1965.

Kidd was quoted as saying:

"When I was going round with a bunch of lads and we happened to see a girl who was a real sizzler we used to say that she gave us ‘quivers down the membranes’. It was a standard saying with us referring to any attractive girl…..I can honestly say that it was this more than anything that inspired me to write ‘Shakin’ All Over’.".

Johhny Kidd's original Shakin All Over was in 1960.

It was not a hit in Australia. Johnny Chester had a version here in 1961, and Normie Rowe's version was No1 in 1965, it was recorded before the Guess Who's which was also a hit.

Both Chester's and Rowe's and IMHO are the best versions because of the similar guitars, both are on youtube
