Athenians
The Athenians
were a 60's RnB band who recorded a superb version of Slim Harpo's
"I Got Love If You Want It" (sleeve pictured on left) - the riff that
was, ahem, used by The Who for their first single as the
High Numbers "I'm The Face".
They were the type of band that should feature on a British Nuggets
and like most of those garage bands never scaled
those heights again. Their version of Louie Louie shared a Edinburgh
Students' charity single
with the likes of Archie Fisher: father to a Singing Kettle stalwart.
Also sharing this disc was
a sub par version of Beatle song "I Don't Want To Spoil The Party"
by The Avengers who
would
have been another Nuggets certainty if they actually recorded a record
in their normal style.
