It was standard practice in the 1960s for British beat groups to pepper their repertoires with American R&B songs. Formed by five music-loving schools from Blackpool, the Missfits were no exception. Although they group released no records during their time together, for two brief years they were the toast of Blackpool clubland. They played at the same veues as local bands such as the Rockin' Vickers, including some gigs at the famous Oasis Club in Manchester and at the short-lived Blackpool branch of the Twisted Wheel. In February 1964, they won a recording test in a talent competition and travelled to London that summer to commit some of their favourite songs to tape. The tape reel was soon forgotten and thought lost but Janet had thankfully kept it safe, enabling the appearance of the four tracks on this 60s-style vinyl EP. Drummer Janet Baily provides lead vocals on their version of John Lee Hooker's 'Dimples', and bass player Pauline Moran sang lead on Bo Diddley's 'You Can't Judge A Book By The Cover', Chuck Berry's 'I'm Talking About You' and Ray Charles' 'What'd I Say', with guitarists Andrea Hine, Carola Daish and Liz Hall joining in on backing vocals.

1.1 You Can't Judge a Book By the Cover
