Info
- The second release billed them as The Minets Of England
- They originally were from Surrey, UK
- Ceasar Tamagno was a club owner - the Monticello in Framingham - who was instrumental in getting the group to the USA. It can be assumed that he requested to receive a writer's credit on the first record for compensation. The compositions were done by Ashton D'Mello.
- Newspaper coverage shows constant pushy attempts to prove that the group is greater than the Beatles.
