I have been contacted by Les Thibault from the band Twelve 76.

He has given us some details of the band and a picture.

Thought that it might be of interest to some on here....

He was the bass player in the band.

They practiced in their basement.

His father was the manager.

Their ages ranged from between 16 & 18, however their singer was 28, he had just moved to the area from Cleveland Ohio.

There were nine in the band.

They were based in Salem, Massachusetts.

They were all at High School at the time of the recording.

I have a list of the band players names but will have to wait to see which one is which..... :)

Andy Grabowski...Freddie Towles...Paul Dube...Duke Sherman...Les Thibault...Peter Goutzos...Jimmy Collins...Richie Audette...Don Dansreau...

I was interested to know where the name Twelve 76 came from......

His reply -

We could'nt think of anything else ---it actually was how much we weighed 1276 lbs (at the time there was only 7 of us) by the time we had completed putting the band together we were around 1548 lbs somewhere in that vicinity and by the time the band was done we were in weight watcher category (lol)

does he know how many copies had been pressed? i imagine it being a lot harder to find than some people think, it took me quite some time to find another copy after i'd sold my first one. or is it a case of no demand = no supply?

I haven't gone down that road yet as we've got a copy but he did ask how we'd got one..... laugh.gif

Thinking about it, I haven't seen it up for sale or in any record boxes.

Dean picked his copy up from a friend who sold up in the 80's.

John Manship had some at one time, I'm sure it was in his "Highly Recommended" section so presumed he would have had multiple copies at that time, maybe about 10 years ago?
