"Zoot Suit" b/w "I'm the Face" was the first single of the British rock band the Who, who recorded it under the name the High Numbers in an attempt to appeal to a mod audience. [1] " Zoot Suit" was written by Peter Meaden , the band's first manager.
The album keeps the Who tracks in the same order as the original double album and begins with the two High Numbers tracks. (Note: Prior to deciding on the name The Who they were called The High Numbers for a short period in summer 1964.) "I'm the Face" (The High Numbers) – 2:31 "Zoot Suit" (The High Numbers) – 2:00 "I Am the Sea" – 2:03
The tune for "Zoot Suit" was "Misery" by the Dynamics, [29] and "I'm the Face" borrowed from Slim Harpo's "I Got Love If You Want It". [30] Although Meaden tried to promote the single, it failed to reach the top 50 [ 31 ] and the band reverted to calling themselves the Who. [ 32 ]
