You are the Sherlock Holmes of acetates !!!

Cheers Paul

Thanks a lot, Paul. This has been an especially exciting and ultimately hugely fruitful search. Making contact with the band member was more than enough, but then finding the deep-in-the-internet archive of the local high school community newspaper from more than 50 years ago – that just added greater substance to the whole story. Throw in the press mentions I found in the archives of Billboard, Cash Box and Record World - and then pile on top of that the pics the band member sent out of the blue – and there was a brilliant story that just needed to be told!

I'm thrilled to have had all the components come my way, and to be able to put the jigsaw puzzle together that tells the story of one band's long-forgotten adventures in the music biz in the mid-late 60s. And on top of that - the involvement of luminaries such as Don Gardner and Jerry Williams Jr... wow! I never saw any of that coming!
