They broke up in 1969, And where fronted by Peter Frampton,
They still hold the record audience doing a live gig in Lichtenstein, A total of 96 Souls.
There former manager took all there outfits from them which they acquired free on Carnaby Street.
There biggest hit , Ichycoo Park, No 1 UK/USA. If you have an original copy with the etching for school kids, Don't drop out, Hang out, Worth a fortune.
Your now checking your old 45s like I did Regards Terry.

Re: Beatles Quiz.
Looks like a 'Sloop' Terry, but still don't know its significance unless it's the 'John D' as in the song

Re: Beatles Quiz.
She is the Schooner Carroll A. Deering Ted!
Carroll A. Deering was a five-masted commercial schooner that was found run aground off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, in 1921. Its crew was missing. The Deering is one of the most written-about maritime mysteries in history, with claims that it was a victim of the Bermuda Triangle, although the evidence points towards a mutiny or possibly piracy.
Cheers
