The Koobas
The Koobas were an English beat group from Liverpool. Their music, and their early history, is similar in some ways to that of fellow Liverpudlians The Beatles, though they never achieved widespread popularity.
History
The group was founded in 1962 in Liverpool by members who had previously played in local outfits such as the Thunderbeats and Roy Montrose and the Midnights. They used both the spellings "Kubas" and "Koobas" at times. Late in 1963 they began playing at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany, doing a three-week stint there.
Brian Epstein signed them to a contract in 1964 and brokered them a deal with Pye Records. In 1965 they were to appear in the film Ferry Cross the Mersey (a Gerry & The Pacemakers vehicle) as the losers in a battle of the bands, but this footage was cut from the film's final release. Their first single was "I Love Her" b/w "Magic Potion", which did not make the charts, but the group opened for The Beatles on their last British tour to support the single.

The Koobas
The Koobas were an English beat group from Liverpool. Their music, and their early history, is similar in some ways to that of fellow Liverpudlians The Beatles, though they never achieved widespread popularity.
History
The group was founded in 1962 in Liverpool by members who had previously played in local outfits such as the Thunderbeats and Roy Montrose and the Midnights. They used both the spellings "Kubas" and "Koobas" at times. Late in 1963 they began playing at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany, doing a three-week stint there.
Brian Epstein signed them to a contract in 1964 and brokered them a deal with Pye Records. In 1965 they were to appear in the film Ferry Cross the Mersey (a Gerry & The Pacemakers vehicle) as the losers in a battle of the bands, but this footage was cut from the film's final release. Their first single was "I Love Her" b/w "Magic Potion", which did not make the charts, but the group opened for The Beatles on their last British tour to support the single.

The First Cut Is The Deepest
by: KoobasI would have given you all of my heart
But somebody else's torn it apart
And they've taken almost all that I've got
But if you want, I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again 'cause I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby, I know
The first cut is the deepest
And when it comes to being lucky she's first
When it comes to lovin' me she's worst
But when it comes to bein' loved, she's first
That's how I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
And I'm sure gonna give you a try
And if you want, I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again, 'cause I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
And when it comes to being lucky she's first
When it comes to lovin' me she's worst
But when it comes to bein' loved, she's first
That's how I know
The first cut is the deepest, yeah, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know, yeah
