Hedgehoppers Anonymous

Hedgehoppers Anonymous

A beat band from the UK who were originally called The Trendsetters then The Hedgehoppers in 1963/4. They added the Anonymous in 1965 when Jonathan King became their producer. Their first release (Good News Week) became a big hit in the UK. In my opinion that first 45 and their next 2 releases were mediocre beat/folk efforts. Then in August of 1966 they released this monster (which criminally went nowhere in the charts). Great full Mod/Freakbeat sound on this one. Give it a listen below.

That sounds just like "Tell Us Dylan" by The Sandals.

Who is this Fredenucci?

no doubt, a good treat and a quite clever version of the song with the same titel(originally Dimmi Dylan) penned by Fredenucci and Co of the Italian / French group "Les 5 Gentlemen"
