703 The Beau Brummels “Laugh, Laugh” 1964

“The Beau Brummels made their earliest recordings in San Francisco in 1964 with Sylvester Stewart (later Sly of Sly and the Family Stone) producing. They were the first American band to meet the challenge of the early English invasion, and particularly the challenge posed by the Beatles, with an American version of the English rock sound. Their mid-1960’s recordings, with their jangling, deftly layered guitar parts, melodious songs and chiming vocal harmonies, set the stage for the folk-rock style that flowered in the next few years” (Robert Palmer, The New York Times, 4/3/1983).
