THE EASYBEATS - I'LL MAKE YOU HAPPY (JUST LIKE YOUR MAMA WANTS)


Note to potential wise guys: yes, this from an EP but it still spins at 45 RPM!

Here's a storming raver from Australia's finest (and first to have a worldwide hit) The Easybeats. This is a track that was only released on the Australian "Easyfever" EP and just might be my favorite thing from these guys. "easyfever" in fact was a term coined by the press to describe (just like "Beatlemania") Australia's rabid reaction to this group that caused near riots down under.

from 1966...

Great to hear and see an Australian side on your site! Thanks.

BTW - Harry Vanda and George Young of the Easybeats wrote many, many hits in Australia and produced the first AC/DC albums. George's younger brothers are Angus and Malcolm of AC/DC fame.
