This early 1965 release, prior to the band changing their name from Chad Allan and the Reflections to The Guess Who, features the original version of a song that would later become a garage rock standard. It captures a band in transition, finding their sound and name.
- The original version of "Shakin' All Over" was released as a single under the band's earlier name, Chad Allan and the Reflections, in 1965. This recording predates the band's adoption of the name The Guess Who, which occurred later that same year. It was released on the Linus Entertainment label.
- The single was credited to Chad Allan & the Reflections. The Guess Who name change happened in late 1965.
- The song was released on January 16, 1965.
The Guess Who originated in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and became Canada's most internationally successful rock band of the 1960s. By 1965, they had begun to shift from their R&B-influenced R&B sound toward the folk rock and garage rock the era demanded.
