MANFRED MANN "sha la la" B/W "john hardy" 1964
one of my favourite 1960s UK groups....
i love Paul Jones as a vocalist, one of the best yet one of the most underrated of his era IMO...
as a huge fan, i cannot knock either track here, two awesome tracks IMO...
and like a lot of singles from that era, the "B" sides were often as good as the official "A" sides, and this is no exception!
this one made it to #3 on the UK charts
