Although they are 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 Merseybeat period.

Hippy Hippy Shake, a cover of an obscure 50s rocker (that was actually performed much better by The Beatles on tapes of their BBC performances) was their only Top 30 entry in the USA.
The band enjoyed some other hits in the UK, including a top notch Merseyization of You're No Good, originally by Betty Everett (and covered in the 1970s by Linda Ronstadt) which they took into the Top 5 in 1964.

The band also wrote some catchy and energetic originals in the purest Merseybeat style. While it may not add up to an enduring legacy, there's a lot to be said for the naive energy of the best of their early tunes.
