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.
