Round and Round NOT THE SHADOWS?

According to Youtoube this is "Twist and Fire" by The Fenders from 1960, but according to this site it was by Hank, Bruce and Brian in 1963:

The tune is indeed Round and Round as featured in Summer Holiday (1963) and written by Hank, Bruce and Brian.

They would seem to be a Brazilian group. Pretty good too. I've been reading some of the comments on Youtube - but my Spanish is very shaky. However - it's clearly an LP of (mostly) cover versions. I think that confusion may have arisen because many of the original versions covered on the LP date from 1960. As they also cover "Peppermint Twist", "The Locomotion" and "The Rise & Fall Of F Bunt" on the album - then it clearly can't date from 1960. I believe that it was actually released in 1965. For some reason they changed the title of "Round & Round" & maybe someone put the incorrect publishing date on the album. Anyway - it's quite pleasant listening & I hope that I've 'solved' the mystery.

Bests....Rob :)

Interesting, one of my first bands was named "The Fenders" - located in UpperAustria ( 1963-1978).
We played all the Shadows, CCR , Beatles, Stones stuff. Didn`t know that there was a second
group named The Fenders at he same time!

PS: we played Round & Round from The Shadows !
