The Snobs
The Snobs were a British rock group active in the mid-1960s.

The group, originally known as The Apostles, got their break after meeting Ivor Spencer, who became their manager. They were best noted for their gimmick of performing in 18th-century period costumes, complete with buckle shoes and powdered wigs.

Their debut single, "Buckle Shoe Stomp", was co-written by Spencer and released on Decca Records in the UK in 1964. The Snobs were hugely popular in Sweden and Denmark; Decca released a further Scandinavian single featuring covers of "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Giddy Up a Ding Dong".

The group travelled to the United States in 1964, where they played several concerts, appeared on "The Red Skelton Show", and recorded a never-released cover of "Love Potion No. 9" with producer Gary S. Paxton.

The Snobs disbanded in 1965, having released only the two aforementioned singles.
