  • From https://en-academic.com: "Rasputin and The Mad Monks were a garage band from Lawrence, Massachusetts. In late 1967 they cut a 4-song demo, including a cover of The Electric Prunes hit "I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night" which (2+ decades later) appeared on the compilation Beyond the Calico Wall. They are sometimes confused with Rasputin and the Monks, a prep-school garage band from New Hampshire who released a one-sided covers LP called"Sun of My Soul" (Trans Radio 200836) in 1965 or 1966. There was another band called Rasputin And The Mad Monks, this one, formed near Cornell University circa1966-1967, featured future Magic Tramps drummer Sesu Coleman. The group moved to Boston in 1967 andchanged their name to "The Looking Glass".
