- Walking The Dog – The Dennisons. Decca (1964) A group whose talent far exceeded their national profile, The Dennisons were blessed with one of the best singers on the scene in gravel-voiced Ray Scragg, although he shared vocal duties with Eddie Parry, who had a much cleaner, classic Merseybeat delivery.
- Just A Little Bit – The Undertakers. Pye Records (1964) With a repertoire spanning soul, R&B and rock’n’roll, The Undertakers raised the bar for other beat bands.
