REVIEW: American pop music was primed for an injection of fresh energy at the dawn of 1964. Across the pond, a platoon of guitar-wielding bands wearing scandalously long hair and sharp continental suits were cooking up the means to supply it, setting the stage for the tidal wave of the British Invasion.

America's fevered response to The Beatles in early 1964 unleashed a moptop mania that even out-thundered Elvis Presley in its cataclysmic resonance, opening the door for British beat groups aplenty. Suddenly, doo-wop, surf and rhythm and blues were all in immenint danger of being passe on the Top 40, swept off the airwaves by The Animals, The Zombies, The Troggs and many more bands. The best of these exciting young groups were true innovators in their own right, advancing the rock idiom expenentially with their songwriting brilliance.
