HERMAN'S HERMITS – "I'm Into Something Good"

Another fascinating Haloscan comment lost – not by me, can’t remember who.

The Stones’ It’s All Over Now probably wasn’t Blues as T-Bone Walker or Robert Johnson might recognise it, but for all its jauntiness this one is. It’s the first twelve-bar blues to top the British chart and its opening words are “Woke up this morning”. Now beat that!

TOTPWatch. Herman’s Hermits thrice performed ‘I’m Into Something Good’ on Top Of The Pops.

2 September 1964. Also in the studio that week were; Dave Berry, Marianne Faithfull, The Honeycombs and The Kinks. David Jacobs was the host.

16 September 1964. Also in the studio that week were; Julie Rogers, Marianne Faithfull and PJ Proby. Jimmy Saville was the host.

24 December 1964. Also in the studio that week were; Billy J Kramer & The Dakotas, Manfred Mann, Sandie Shaw, The Animals, The Beatles, The Four Pennies, The Honeycombs, The Kinks and The Searchers. Jimmy saville, Alan Freeman, Pete Murray & David Jacobs were the hosts.

None of the editions have survived.

And it’s goodbye Gerry Goffin.

Pleasant enough stuff from Peter Noone and co., in my opinion. In the middle here, so 5/10 for me.
