Athenians

Scottish Nuggets? 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.
