The group had its origins in 1957, when Bruce McCaskill formed
a jazz-influenced skiffle sextet called the Bluegenes. They were a fully
working band by 1962, playing skiffle at venues in Liverpool and the Star
Club in Hamburg where The Beatles use to play. The German audiences booed
them off the stage, however, and the group rapidly changed direction and
focus. That’s when the band switched to rock and roll, and with a name change
to reflect their attire, to the Swinging Blue Jeans. An album was released
in 1964 by HMV. They had two major hit songs: the Hippy Hippy Shake and Good
Golly Miss Molly before subsiding into obscurity to be known just as another
of the Mersey Beat bands.

This British band formed around 1965 and released a handful of
singles that, for whatever reason, didn’t sell well. They were originally
on the Decca label. The original band broke up and Richard Shirman put another
Attack together. Without a recording contract, they went into the studio
and recorded enough for an album but very little of their stuff ever saw
the light of day. It wasn’t until the CD era that their music was finally
released. But they were on par with some of the best bands in their time.

George Harrison: lead & rhythm guitars, harmony vocal

Produced by George Martin, 1964
Recorded at EMI Abby Road Studio Two, London
This is the original British version of the song on 45 and to me, sounds
a wee bit different from the North American release. "I Feel Fine" starts
with a single, percussive feedback note produced by McCartney plucking the
A string on his bass, and Lennon's guitar, which was leaning against McCartney's
bass amp, picking up feedback. This was the first use of feedback on a rock
record. According to McCartney, "John had a semi-acoustic Gibson guitar.
It had a pickup on it so it could be amplified ... We were just about to
walk away to listen to a take when John leaned his guitar against the amp.
I can still see him doing it … it went, 'Nnnnnnwahhhhh!' And we went, 'What's
that? Voodoo!' 'No, it's feedback.' 'Wow, it's a great sound!' George Martin
was there so we said, 'Can we have that on the record?' 'Well, I suppose
we could, we could edit it on the front.'
John Lennon claimed: "I defy anybody to find a record – unless it's
some old blues record in 1922 – that uses feedback that way."
