Must have been some British influence in those early days...
'Tribute To Buddy Holly' was originally recorded by Mike Berry & The Outlaws (a small British hit in 1961, which was banned by the BBC for being in 'poor taste' (eh?))
'Shakin' All Over' was originally recorded by Johnny Kidd & The Pirates in 1960...one of the finest British rock records ever made...
But sadly, Canada's favourite sons couldn't quite cast their spell on us Brits big time...
A shame, because a lot of their records are class...
