I wonder if anyone realises that all except one of their Top 50 hits were cover versions.

Here they are:

 

Sweets For My Sweet - originally by The Drifters

Sweet Nuthin's - originally by Brenda Lee

Sugar & Spice - originally by Tony Hatch

Needles & Pins - originally by Jackie DeShannon

Don't Throw Your Love Away - originally by The Orlons

Someday We're Gonna Love Again - originally by Barbara Lewis

When You Walk In The Room - originally by Jackie DeShannon

Goodbye My Love - originally by Jimmy Hughes (titled Goodbye My Lover Goodbye)

He's Got No Love (their only non cover)

When I Get Home - originally by Bobby Darin

Take Me For What I'm Worth - originally by P.F. Sloan

Take It Or Leave It - originally by Rolling Stones

Have You Ever Loved Somebody - originally by The Hollies

according to Second Hand Songs, Sugar and Spice wasn't a cover either. Tony Hatch's instrumental recording wasn't till 1965.
