Biography
by Richie Unterberger
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. (allmusicguide.)

Blue Jeans a' Swinging
Review
by Richie Unterberger
The only album the Swinging Blue Jeans released in their native U.K. during the 1960s (a couple of other collections appeared in North America). It's a thin if reasonably energetic affair, filled to the gills with Merseyized covers of classic rock and R&B tunes that don't display a lot of imagination in either approach or selection ("Long Tall Sally," "Lawdy Miss Clawdy," "Tutti Frutti," "Save the Last Dance for Me"). It does have an okay, hard-to-find harmony ballad, "All I Want Is You," which was a single by fellow Liverpool group the Escorts. The Japanese CD adds 11 bonus cuts, all of which are available on the domestic EMI compilation, so even fans of the group will probably find this unnecessary.
