Zoot Suit/I'm The Face
"Zoot Suit" b/w "I'm the Face" was the first single of the British rock band The High Numbers, later known as The Who.
"Zoot Suit" was written (with music copied from American Soul records - Zoot Suit being a direct lift of the tune of The Dynamics "Misery", while "I'm The Face" was based on Slim Harpo's "Got Love If You Want It") by Peter Meaden, the band's first manager. It was meant for a mod audience, but it failed to chart. The band changed their name back to The Who, found new management and released their own composition "I Can't Explain", which was a top ten hit in the United Kingdom.
