"Zoot Suit" b/w "I'm the Face" was the first single of the British rock band the Who, who recorded it under the name the High Numbers in an attempt to appeal to a mod audience. "Zoot Suit" was written by Peter Meaden, the band's first manager. The song is a direct copy of "Misery" by the American R&B group the Dynamics, while the B-side, "I'm the Face", is a copy of Slim Harpo's "I Got Love If You Want It." The single was meant for a mod audience, but failed to chart. The band changed their name back to The Who, found new management, and released their own composition "I Can't Explain", which became a top ten hit in the United Kingdom.

| - «Zoot Suit»/«I'm the Face» fue el primer sencillo de la banda británica de rock The Who, cuando eran conocidos como The High Numbers. «Zoot Suit» fue escrita por Peter Meaden, el primer mánager de la banda. Fue dirigida a la audiencia mod, fracasando en las listas musicales. Con la música copiada de los registros de American Soul, «Zoot Suit» está influenciada directamente de «Misery» del grupo The Dinamics, mientras «I'm The Face» fue basada en «Got Love If You Want It», del cantante de blues Slim Harpo.Posterior al lanzamiento del sencillo, la banda cambió su nombre a The Who, que en una nueva administración lanzó su propia composición «I Can't Explain», que se convirtió en un éxito en el Reino Unido.

- Zoot Suit/I'm the Face è il primo e unico singolo dei The High Numbers, che dopo questo disco cambiarono definitivamente nome in The Who; venne pubblicato nel Regno Unito nel 1964. (it)

Both songs embraced mod culture - a zoot suit being a fashionable item of clothing for mods, and a "Face" being mod slang for a well-respected member of mod society. (en)
