Great double-sider from Sandy Nelson, which reached #3 in the UK charts in late 1961 / early 1962.Both sides of this London label 45, "Let There Be Drums" and "Quite A Beat", were composed by Nelson who had made something of a name for himself as a session player before forming his own band.
Quite extraordinarily he continued to make records up until at least 2008 despite losing part of his right leg in a motorcycle accident in 1963.
