SWINGING BLUE JEANS "hippy hippy shake" B/W "now i must go" 1963
Merseyside beat group who tagged along on the coat-tails of The Beatles, but had much less success(like most other Liverpudlian groups did)
"A" side must be one of the best songs of the 1960s to have never got to #1 IMO
"B" side, is okay, but nothing special, sounds like a thousand other songs from the UK's initial 'britpop' era
single peaked at #2 in the UK
