The Swinging Blue Jeans - Good Golly Miss Molly: The EMI Years 1963-1969

2008 four CD set celebrating the music of The Swinging Blue Jeans, the Liverpool band best known for their hit 'Hippy Hippy Shake'. Though the band had one major hit in the U.S., their recorded output is more exciting than many of the other Liverpool bands of the '60s (barring The Beatles, of course). In October 1961, Bob Wooler, the DJ at the Cavern club in Liverpool, compiled a list of the most popular rock groups on Merseyside. The Beatles were at #1, but the Swinging Blue Jeans were omitted from his ratings. Wooler wrote, "They are beyond comparison. They are in a class of their own." Another time, he referred to them as the Swinging Blue Geniuses. Initially a Skiffle group, the SBJ's transformed themselves into a wild and wooly Rock 'N' Roll outfit overnight and wowed the UK and Europe for years to come. This collection of their EMI recordings, 1963-69, features 113 tracks including 'Hippy Hippy Shake', 'I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Cry (Over You', 'Don't Make Me Over' and many many more. EMI.
