AMG Bio.txt AMG Review.txt Notes.txt (which is simply these notes included in the torrent) All Music Bio: Although they're only remembered today for their 1964 hit "Hippy Hippy Shake," the Swinging Blue Jeans were actually one of the strongest of the Liverpool bands from the '60s British Invasion. "Hippy Hippy Shake" -- a cover of an obscure '50s rocker that was actually done much better by the Beatles on tapes of their BBC performances -- was their only Top 30 entry in the U.S. But the band enjoyed some other major and minor hits in the U.K., including a top-notch Merseyization of Betty Everett's (and later Linda Ronstadt's) "You're No Good," which they took into the British Top Five in 1964. They also wrote some catchy and energetic, if slightly sappy, originals in the purest Merseybeat style. While it doesn't add up to an enduring legacy, there's a lot to be said for the naive energy of the best of their early tunes. Taken from: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:wpfixq95ldfe~T1 All Music Album Review: Weighing in at a hefty 34 tracks, this is the most exhaustive Swinging Blue Jeans anthology available. Do not mistake this, however, for the best collection of these cheery Liverpool British Invaders. That honor belongs to the American Hippy Hippy Shake collection, which is nearly as comprehensive (at 26 tracks) but much more well chosen. All their U.K. hits -- half a dozen, more or less -- are included here, as well as many B-sides, flop singles, and eight previously unreleased tracks (most of which bear the writing credits "unknown," even the relatively well-known Little Richard song "Ready Teddy"). At their best, the Blue Jeans were one of the better British Invasion pop-rockers, and they did manage a fair number of good tracks, but a great deal of the selections here are uneventful or downright difficult to bear in their dated quaintness, fallow MOR pop, or lame rehashing of '50s rock. The small bonus is that the version of their 1968 single "Now That You've Got Me (You Don't Seem to Want Me)," written by Clint Ballard (also responsible for "You're No Good" and other great '60s tunes), is, for some reason, much better than the one on Hippy Hippy Shake. That's hardly worth the fairly hefty price of this import -- stick with the U.S. compilation. Track List: 01. Three Little Fishes 02. Now I Must Go 03. Hippy Hiip Shake 04. It's Too Late Now 05.
