Wissenswertes
The Beatles appear via some newsreel footage, singing "Twist and Shout" and "She Loves You".

Patzer
In the opening credits, each of the performers are listed twice, first individually, and then collectively. In the second listing, Billie Davis' first name is listed incorrectly as "Billy".

Zitate
Self - Host: And in 1964, even the girls got in on the beatin' and they got their fair share of record sales too, with tunes like:
Susan Maughan: [singing] Make moon shine, Just a little brighter, Make hold me, Just a little tighter, If I bet on you, Make my dreams come true, Make him mine...

Crazy Credits
During the opening credits the performers' names are listed twice. The second time around, Billie Davis' name is misspelled "Billy Davis".

Alternative Versionen
The American version of this film, "Go Go Mania," adds the sounds of canned audience screams under the music.

Great time capsule stuff.

Having been 16 at the end of 1964, this took me back. Great history here too with some acts that never translated to this side of the ocean. (Although The Rockin' Berries had a pretty good U.S. hit with a cover of the Reflections "Poor Man's Son".) More history - The Fourmost and Tommy Quickly were in Brian Epstein's stable and each got to record Lennon-McCartney cast-offs; Hello Little Girl (Fourmost) and Tip of My Tongue (Quickly) - the latter possibly the worst song ever written by L&M. What a trip hearing early Spencer Davis with 16 year old Steve Winwood picking up lead guitar and vocal in the middle of the song. And Alan Price on keyboards for the Animals - a group he founded - just before he split with Eric. (And the late Chas Chandler on bass - he more than anyone responsible for bringing James Marshall Hendrix to the world.) Forgive the wardrobes (gold lame pants) and the sets - just early Carnaby Street sign of the times. And Matt Munro - an accommodation to the older set during the period of transition - he was thought to be the Sinatra of England.

I could have watched five hours of this! Bob Lewis
