The Buggs were a short-lived tribute band of the mid-1960s, inspired by The Beatles craze.
The Buggs' only album, The Beetle Beat, consisted of covers of Beatles songs ("I Want To Hold Your Hand", "She Loves You") with some humorous originals ("Big Ben Hop", "Soho Mash", "Liverpool Drag", "Teddy Boy Stomp", "Mersey Mercy").
Despite displaying "The original Liverpool sound", and claiming to have been "Recorded in England," The Buggs hailed from Omaha, Nebraska, and the album was recorded at Kay Bank Studios in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
A later re-release of the album was titled Meet The Buggs and featured the band in the same pose as on the cover of Meet The Beatles (the then-current American title for the album now called With The Beatles).
Gary Wright, a New Jersey native, was best known as a member of the British hard rock band Spooky Tooth in the late 1970's. Beatles fans might be amused to learn he was also in The Coachmen V, whose album was hijacked by their label and released as The Beetle Beat by the Buggs in 1964. This experience convinced Wright to stay in school, and he became a doctor before joining Spooky Tooth.
This album was actually recorded in the New Jersey/New York area by a group named The Coachmen V featuring Gary Wright later of Spooky Tooth, and was to be self-titled. Coronet Records hijacked the tape and the band was paid nothing. Later repackaged as "Boots A Go Go" again with no payment to the band. "The Buggs" never really existed
