"They were how you told a stranger about rock 'n' roll" wrote rock critic Jon Landau about The Remains in early 1967. High praise, indeed. This Boston band had formed a few years earlier in 1964 and were lumped in with the British Invasion sound. They enjoyed much regional success in the Northeast in the mid-Sixties. They even landed a spot opening for the Beatles on a leg of their final tour in 1966.
Unfortunately, the band broke up right after the U.S. tour and could not capitalize on that exposure. That's too bad, as this was a pretty solid band. Updated link includes album: goto 14:15 for song featured here.
