Hailing from Liverpool, Ian & The Zodiacs are considered (unfortunately and for no good reason) to be one of the least successful bands of the British Invasion. The group found the most success in Germany, where they were big stars, but they languished relatively unknown in their homeland and abroad (although one fluke single charted regionally in Texas!). The group formed in 1958, and lasted until '67 which makes their lack of success even more puzzling.
As this record shows, the group definitely had some hit-making potential. Perhaps it was a mis-step by their record label to promote the other side of this release as the a-side? whatever the reasons, this twangy-guitar driven beat masterpiece SHOULD have been a hit.
from 1966...
