History
1965/66 Cove supported band and managed while they were gaining momentum. They went to NYC and recorded a 45 with Smash Records, a division of Mercury records. The song "Goin' Home" on B side and “Skipping through the Night” on the A side. There was a small fan club in the Midwest for a while. Gluck and Allen, a PR firm, had a brief contract with them and got the band a few gigs in NYC, and had the publicity photo taken of them in the tree. Cove's 30 minute, 16mm movie made in 1966 called "Marshmallow" has some band members (as well as original clicks of the Beatles) in it and would work as a music video.
Then the band fell apart.

There are 12 tracks on the audition tapes. One of them, “It’s Called Love” was not transferred to the CD we re-mastered.
The third tape we have has some jam sessions and raw jams on it. Danny Has another reel-to-reel tape from that period.
