Aussie group Beathoven made a little splash with this pure pop confection from mid '78: "Shy Girl". A little Beatlesque, A little Bay City Rollers & Very 1970's, 'Shy Girl' became known to me thanks to EMI's 'Explosive Radio Hits' which also introduced me to Chris Rea, Raydio & The Patti Smith Group. Those collector's items were sure good value!

The song only made it to #76, but it made an impression, and a few years later the group morphed into The Innocents, who would score a couple of local chart hits. They originally hailed from the 'apple isle' state of Tasmania. 

Beathoven's styling was often of the four lads all decked out in black top and tails! Cute!

Enjoy this original longer version of this rare 70's pop.
