Updated January 2011
The Bucaneer’s (or Bucaneers) had this one release, a great two-sider from 1966 on the Amigo label out of Philadelphia, PA. Both sides are well-written and performed.
“You’re Never Gonna Love Me Anymore” pleads forgiveness for cheating a third time. A repetitive lead guitar line plays over the distorted rhythm guitar, with tambourine helping to move the tune along.
The shoe’s on the other foot for “I’m a Fool”. This time the guy is sticking around while his girl deceives him.
Both sides are by Ron Krause, though I couldn’t find any listing in ASCAP for these songs.
Richie Moore produced this and the publishing is attributed to Amigo and R-Mor. Reach Records is listed as distributor. Interesting spelling of their name on the label, as it should be Buccaneers instead of Bucaneers and doesn’t need the apostrophe.

The Starlites, from left: Don Bevers, Ken Loftis and George FalconeI knew next to nothing about the band until guitarist Don Bevers contacted me and informed me they were from Barrington, New Jersey, just southeast of Philadelphia:
My name is Don Bevers, originator and lead guitarist of the band. Members on the recording were:
Ron Krause – rhythm/lead guitar, lead vocal George Falcone – Farfisa keyboard/ keyboard bass and backup vocals Ken Loftis – drums, tambourine, back up vocals Don Bevers – lead/rhythm guitar, back up vocals
1963 Don and George met in grade school school and practiced standard songs playing accordion and guitar. Later added Ken Loftis on drums and named the combo The Starlites.
1964 The Starlites played weddings, parties, school dances, and private clubs in the Philadelphia, and Jersey Shore area.
1965 The band progressed from dance music to R&R cover songs while developing strong vocal harmonies.
1966 Met with Ron Krause who was a talented poet and songwriter. We began to arrange two of his songs and was then introduced to a producer, Richie Moore, of The Richie Moore Trio in Philadelphia. The band name was changed to The Buccaneers. The spelling had to be altered for copyright reasons.
We scheduled a recording session, we actually recorded four or five originals, but left all but the two released in the can for use on a future album (never finished). The Bucaneers were unsigned. The record was independently produced in cooperation with Reach Productions. I doubt if the master tracks we did are still around. The studio was also independent.
The Bucaneers liveThe band was picked up by all the local radio and appeared on many televised teen dance shows in Philadelphia. We became a regular with Hy Lit, Joe Niagra, Jerry Blavatt, Super Lou and many others. After a long tour throughout Pennsylvania, Hy Lit arranged for us to appear with the ” Dave Clark 5 ” as the opening band playing at the Camden County Music Fair.
The Sidekicks toured with us in ’66 all through PA. What a great 60’s band. “Suspicions” was going up the charts along with The Bucaneers “I’m a Fool”. We admired The Sidekicks from the first time we heard them. They were one of the few bands of the era that had really great vocals. We would sit as close as possible when they played and to our surprise, they all were right up front when we took the stage. They especially liked our Stones,Yardbirds and Doors covers, and our single, “I’m A Fool”. We actually played all together for a rockin jam toward the end of the tour.
I recall late one night, after the show, somewhere out in the woods in Pennsylvania, The Bucaneers, with equipment trailer, were the lead vehicle in the entourage of several bands moving on to the next city. Everybody wanted to stop at the first place we could find to get something to eat. Somehow we were distanced way ahead of the rest. Our tour manager stopped at a late night diner. He parked the vehicle near the road so the rest would see that we had stopped there.
These were very different times when guys with long hair were not accepted everywhere, and this was one of those times. As the four of us walked into the establishment with our manager, and took up stools at the counter, we noticed about 6 or 7 tough looking dudes playing pinball in an another part of the diner. They were starting to trash talk while walking toward us. Just when we were thinking that there was going to be a fight, the door opened and The Sidekicks and three or four other long haired groups filled up the place. The look on the faces of those troublemakers was priceless as they slowly left the diner got in their cars and sped away like scared little girls. We all had a good laugh.
1967 Ron left the group to return to college. The band continued to expand their touring range to include Virginia. Just after performing a sold out concert in Petersburg, VA, Ken and Don were involved in a head on car crash, both hospitalized with serious injuries. George joined another working band. After some time the band briefly reformed with Ken Williams on keyboard, and Lou Ottavi on bass to fulfill contractual agreements in Virginia.
1992 reunion: Don Bevers, Ken Loftis and George Falcone1992 The original Bucaneers played a reunion show in Washington Township, NJ.
Where are they now?
Don Bevers: Writing and producing a smooth jazz cd with “The Peter Bennett Band” for release in 2011. Plays bass on occasion with Kickin Again. Lives in Tampa Bay, Florida.
Ken Loftis: Performs with Something Beatles, a NJ based Beatles tribute band.
George Falcone: Writing New Age material for a soon to be released CD from his home studio in NJ.
Thank you for generating interest in the 60’s era bands. It was a great time for everyone.
I would like to say my prayers and deepest sympathy go out to the Krause family as we lost a truly great Bucaneer to cancer. Ron was easy going, and such a pleasure to work with. He always had a smile, and a wonderful, witty, and creative personality.

The Yorkshire Puddin, from left: R. Ponce de Leon, Danny Jolin, Bob Heinich, and Bob Cotherin
The Yorkshire Puddin cut two 45s on Dellwood Records in ’67 and ’68. Their first 45 is the fine “Good Night Day” backed with “Ain’t Gonna Love Ya No More”. They updated their sound for the second release, “Keep Me In Mind”.
“Keep Me in Mind”, like both sides of their first 45 were written by Cotharin – De Leon and produced by Woody Gardella. “Black Jacket Woman”, the flip of “Keep Me in Mind”, is the same moody pop number also done by the Zone V and the Tropics (the original?). I hear a female voice on the harmonies on this song only.
Dellwood was based in first Hackensack then nearby Saddle Brook, New Jersey.
Rhythm guitarist and vocalist Frank DePauw left a detailed comment about the band below, that I’ll repeat here:
Bob Cotharin, left hand Hofner bass player, and head singer and spokesman of the group. Reynold Ponce De Leon, keyboards, (harpsichord), rhythm guitar, and harmonies. Robert Heinick, lead guitar, and vocalist. Gail Koennemann did some backup singing, and wed Bob Cotharin in ’69 or ’70. No longer together. Daniel Jollen, drummer, drafted into the Army in the summer of ’68 Frank DePauw, second guitar, harmonies, backup keyboards, and in spare time, light show producer.
The group was the “house band” for the “Castaway” in Hampton Bay, Long Island, N.Y. in the summer of “68, when the drummer was drafted. A mad search went out, but no one could fill Dan’s job, and the group, after trying to get the “sound” back, broke up.
The photo of the group gives Danny Jollen’s name as Danny Jolin, I’m not sure which is correct. Also it’s hard to read the hand writing, but is it Bob Heinick or Bob Heinich? The photo also has what may be a manager’s name, George Appleyard, as well as a second address for Dellwood at 10 Banta Place in Hackensack.
Can anyone fill in more history on how they came to record for Dellwood and play at the Castaway?
Thanks once again to JP Coumans for the scan of “Keep Me in Mind” and transfer of “Black Jacket Woman”.
Special thank you to Harvey Kornbluth for sending the photo of the group.

The Sey-Heys, l-r: Bob Baranowski, Steve Di Giovoni, Eddie Ferrick, Al Kuraz behind Eddie, and Lenny Hope on drums.
Here’s a song by the Sey Heys you may be able to relate to, about hanging out around the convenience store. Certainly did enough of that when I was a young teen. The audio quality on this acetate is rough but the performance is good, with both guitar and piano solos on “The Corner Store”.
Rhythm guitarist Bob Baranowski wrote a terse summary of the Sey Hey’s history (with name spelling corrections by Steve Giovenco):
Group organized in 1965-1967. Manager Mike Petro from Harrison, New Jersey.
Bob Baranowski – rhythm guitar (Harrison, NJ) Steve Giovenco – lead guitar (Clifton, NJ) Ed Ferrick – bass guitar, lead vocals (Harrison, NJ) Alan Kuraz – organ (Harrison, NJ) Lenny Dadone – drummer (Clifton, NJ)
Group played locally and at most colleges. Also played for Bank of Toyko at Waldorf in NY. Won competition on Zacherley TV show [Zacherley’s Disco Teen on Channel 47 WNJU-TV] in Newark NJ. Backed up the Duprees at the Cornet in Irvington NJ, 1966. Won several battle of the bands in NJ. Recorded first record “Rose Marie” and flip side “The Corner Store” in 1966. The group broke up in 1967.
Ed Ferrick was lead singer and composer of “Rosemarie”. He and Bob Baranowski wrote “The Corner Store” in fifteen minutes to fill the session. They cut the two tracks in two hours at the Hertz Recording Studio on Halsey Street in Newark, for a total of $90: $30 per hour for the time and $30 for demos for the band. Bob’s uncle was going to push the demo to RCA, where he worked as a patent attorney for RCA, but he died before he could make anything happen.
Their primary competition was The Caretakers from Harrsion, whose members included Artie Cuff on sax and Ritchie Ferollia on lead guitar. The Caretakers were mainly a cover band who had the distinction of touring Vietnam with Bob Hope.
Steve Di Giovanni went on to join the Clifton band the Brats. Bob Baranowski joined the Sidesteps, based in Newark.
Special thanks to Arnold Max for submitting the Sey Hey’s acetate, photo and story.
The Hertz Studio had some of the crudest acetates I’ve heard. Here’s a partial list – any additions would be welcome (thank you Mike Dugo for adding the Concepts).
Johnny Kriss & the Mark IV – “Rockin’ Baby” / “Please Baby Please”
Viscaines – “Wind Storm” (garage with harmony background vocals)
Creations – “The Outcast” / “I Don’t Care” Creations – “Bricks and Stones” / “Set Me Free” Creations – “Far Away / “Captain Dirtbomb”
I didn’t know where the Saucer Men were from until one of the comments below gave Paterson, New Jersey. The ZTSP prefix on the label indicates this was a Columbia Records custom pressing, most likely out of New York. This band has nothing to do with the Saucermen of Dickie Goodman and Bill Buchanan fame.
“Another Chance” is a maudlin tune, good if you like the downbeat, weepy garage numbers. The flip, “Don’t Do It” is a poppier, somewhat awkward song.
Both songs were written by Tom and Nick Bonagura and released on their own Bonna label.
Thanks to Ra for sending in these clips and the label photo.
The 40 Fingers began playing in the middle sixties in Springfield, New Jersey. The original group consisted of Teddy O’Connell, lead vocals and keyboard, Bruce Colandrea, lead and background vocals, lead and rhythm guitar, Bruce Gerstein (officially called the Slug), bass guitar, and background vocals, and Wayne Massiello, drums and background vocals.
The 40 Fingers appeared on such TV shows such as Clay Cole, and Zacherley, along with appearing [billed as the Forty Fingers] at Summit High School with Lou Reed’s Velvet Underground and the Myddle Class.
On or around 1968, the group decided to add high school friend Al Fridkis on B3 Hammond organ, and have Ted O’Connell on stand up vocals. Al does not appear on this 45 for the Venture label. The single has the 40 Fingers version of the Myddle Class and Blues Project’s “Don’t Let Me Sleep Too Long”. The flip “Low Sunday” has a “Stormy Monday” kind of thing Bruce put lyrics to.
Thanks to Arnold for sending in the sound clips, scans and history of the band, co-written with Lenny.
The Monkey Men at the Cheetah Lounge NYC, 1966, from left: Bobby Hartnagle, Sam Allen, unidentified, Jimmy Hannah (?), and Ricky Riccitiello
The Luv Bandits’ “Mizzer-Bahd” is a great bit of psychedelia, laden with exotic-sounding guitar lines and gloomy coming-down vocals, released on Parrot 45-PAR-316 in January, 1967.
The flip is “Blues #2” which has the by-the-numbers sound you’d expect from the title, though the most prominent instrument is harmonica and the guitarist mostly hits some odd chords here and there.
Sam Allen and James Hannah wrote both songs. Hugo & Luigi produced.
Jimmy Hannah – lead vocals Bobby Hartnagle – lead guitar Harry Wallace – rhythm guitar Sam Allen – bass, vocals Ricky Riccitiello – drums, replaced by Freddy Morris who played on the Luv Bandits single
Other members included Joe Seddon and Harry Wallace, and possibly Roy Buchanan as well!
Fans remember them playing in a cage at the Satellite, getting in fights with soldiers over their long hair, and riding motorcycles on stage!
I was with the Monkeymen during their 2 summer reign at Bay Shores, I think 67 and 68. Sam, James, Ricky, Bobby and and myself Harry then in 68 Fred Morris on drums. Great times stayed the Anchorage one year and some motel the next. Played at the Dunes with the The Insects I think and Johnny Caswell to start then moved up to Bay Shores. Played with Malcolm and the Bonnevilles one of those years. Sam and Bobby have passed. Fred, James and I are still here…..have no idea why! They were the fastest times of our lives and will never forget. After the Dunes we would drink beer and played pool at O’Burns which was on the way to the Dunes. The Monkeymen had one record under the name The Luv Bandits. We had to use that name because The Monkees were hot then and the label was afraid of being sued. James and I also did a few albums later Google CDbaby and look for The Monkeymen Then and Now or Google The Monkeymen or Itunes.
Joe Seddon wrote:
Joe Seddon here, lead singer and guitarist for Plymouth Rock which consisted of Frank Appice on drums (Carmine Appice`s cousin), Ron Lovett on bass, Allen Weber on sax. I played Somers Point during the 60`s and shared the stages with such good buddies as Johnny Caswell and The Crystal Mansion, Ray Sharp and The Soul Set and many more … At one point I left The Sterling Brothers, my earlier group, featuring myself and Mark Hutchinson, and joined Sam Allen and The Monkey Men. Sam and the guys worked opposite The Sterling Brothers Band at the Satellite Lounge in Wrightstown, N. J. many times. It was fun stuff building that cage, and hard work. My friend Roy Buchanan took my place with the Monkey Men when I left for Hollywood. Roy was my inspiration.
Bobby Hartnagle would co-write “Chinese Chicken” with two former members of the Galaxies IV, Duke Williams (aka Chris Holmes) and T.J. Tindall, and play guitar on both albums by Duke Williams and the Extremes on Capricorn. Bobby Hartnagle died in December, 1994, according to an announcement in the Home News of a concert in his memory at the Trenton City Gardens nightclub on Sunday, March 12, 1995.
Ricky Riccitiello passed away in 1996.
I’d like to know more about the early days of the group, how they formed and where were they based originally.
Anyone have a photo of the group?

Hugo & Luigi at Parrot Records
Parrot was a division of London Records and mainly released UK artists such as Them, the Zombies and Lulu, but also put out over a dozen singles recorded in the US, including this one. The release as Parrot 316 in January 1967 follows the Yesterday’s Children’s great “To Be or Not To Be” / “Baby I Want You”, released as Parrot 314 in December, 1966. Both singles share H. & L. Music Corp. BMI as publisher, and a similar quality of production. Hugo & Luigi were cutting some interesting music in late ’66!
Edward Pivirotto is listed as composer of the Yesterday’s Children songs. The only other act on Parrot that has Hugo & Luigi credits (that I know of) was Flip Cartridge with three singles on Parrot.
Parrot’s US artists usually came from either the upper Midwest or the West Coast, but Yesterday’s Children were from the towns of Cheshire and Prospect, Connecticut.
Both bands also had four-song EPs released in France that included two extra songs not released in the U.S.
The Luv Bandits EP came out on Disc AZ EP 1100 with both sides of the single, plus another original by Allen and Hannah, “The Land Of Ecstasy”, which sounds similar to “Mizzer Bahd”, and “Why Tell The World” (written by N.P. Tassone & Robert Mellin) which could be a different band altogether.
The Yesterday’s Children EP followed as Disc AZ EP 1101 and included “Love and Things” and “Dance All Night”. Unfortunately the Luv Bandits EP didn’t feature a cool band photo like the Yesterday’s Children. Yesterday’s Children were Denis Croce, Richard Croce, Reggie Wright, Chuck Maher and Ralph Muscatelli.
The Young Monkeymen were Trenton, New Jersey’s top band in the mid-60’s. Members were Al Dyott, James Markley, Eugene Patricella on lead guitar and Dean Wilcox.
Eugene was only a young teenager when he played the solos on “I Believed You” and “Bald Headed Woman”. These two songs were their first 45, recorded at Frankford-Wayne Recording Labs in Philadelphia.
Their second record, “I’m Waitin’ For the Letter” was written by Phil and Mary Ann Lombardo and released on their P & M label. The flip is a good original credited to the group, “I Love You”, with a catchy guitar riff and nice bass playing.
Joe Patricella is listed as their manager on the promotional material. I’ve read the band broke up from the draft. They have a later 45 on the P & M label I haven’t heard yet, “They’re Not Forgetting You” b/w an instrumental version of the same song.
The Friedles were the four Fried brothers from Penns Grove in southwestern New Jersey: Mike and Herman Fried on guitars, Simon Fried on bass and Milton Fried (just 14 years old at the time of their first record!) on drums.They went across the river to Ken-Del Studio in Wilmington, Delaware to make their first record “I Lost Her” / “I’m So Glad” with Milt singing lead vocals. Released as the Fried Brothers on Scope, it was mastered louder and issued again on the Hanna label. The sound may come off as somewhat crude, but there’s no denying the energy and spirit in the brothers’ delivery. “I Lost Her” was written by Mike and Milt, “I’m So Glad” by Herm and Milt.
The Fried Brothers (Friedles) Ken-Del demo 45 rpm I Do Love Her“I Lost Her” entered Wilmington, DE station WAMS Top 30 survey the week of September 11, 1965 at #30. In the following weeks it rose to #24, #17, #13 (this time listed with it’s flip side, “I’m So Glad”), #11 and finally reached #10, its highest point, on October 23.
Two other songs from their early sessions at Ken Del went unissued, “I Do Love Her”, with lead vocals by Si Fried, and “The Joke’s on You”, which I haven’t heard. Both of these were written by the Fried brothers, as were the two songs on their next record.
Issued in a cool bat-themed sleeve for some reason, “She Can Go” is kind of a cross between the Searchers’ “Needles and Pins” and the Zombies’ “Tell Her No”. “Don’t Tell Me What to Do” on the flip sounds more natural, with fine punk attitude and great harmonies. The song opens with a great bass line, and Mike and Herm Fried’s guitar playing is excellent throughout. This record credits Norris Austin on organ, and the drumming by Milt is excellent.
The Fried Brothers (Friedles) Ken-Del demo 45 rpm The Jokes On You
Fried Brothers (Friedles) South Jersey Recording Service demo 45 When Love
By 1968 their sound had become psychedelic, even as their image stayed fairly conservative. The band went to Jim Hanna’s South Jersey Recording Service in Woodstown, NJ to cut a couple songs that weren’t issued at the time. Bassist Si Fried sings “When Love”. One of the great unissued songs of the ’60s, it didn’t see the light of day until 1984, when it was released on the classic and long out-of-print Attack of the Jersey Teens compilation, which I also have to thank for the photo of the band.
The other song from this session is also excellent, “Love the Way You Love Me”, sung by Milt.
Charlie Bum South Jersey Recording Service demo 45 When Love
The band seems to have dissolved soon after. Milton Fried started referring to himself as Charlie, or Charlie Bumm. He and Mike Fried went back to South Jersey in 1971 to cut Mike’s song “Early in the Morning”. With the band credited as ‘Charlie Bum’, Mike plays guitar and takes the first lead vocal, Charlie played drums and sings the second lead (with the high-pitched wails), and Tom Fanty played bass. Two other songs recorded at South Jersey in ’71 feature Charlie playing all instruments and vocals: a slower version of their ’65 song “I Do Love Her” and a cover of the Marmalade’s “Reflections of My Life”. For some reason, these songs are in mono on the acetates.
Simon Fried passed away in 1999. Thank you to Charlie Fried for sending me additional songs, information about the sessions and photocopies of the acetate label scans.
Thanks also to Joe Mullin for the scan of his Scope 45.
Update: Mike Fried passed away on March 15, 2013.

Something of a mystery, my understanding is that although their second 45 has a Brooklyn, NY address on the label, the band was actually from Springfield, NJ.
The misspelled “Your Gona Break My Heart” has some cool slide effects on the intro, a fine guitar break and lots of echo. It was released with the band listed as the Abstrack Sound, on the CBM label in 1966, with a moody “Judge Him If You Can” on the flip.
On their second record, the stomping “I’m Trying” backed with the wild “Blacked Out Mind”, they’re called the Abstract Sound. This one was released twice in 1967, on the Gray Sounds and Sound of Soul labels, and was produced by E. M. Gray.
Bill Monetti and C. Catena wrote their songs, along with Denis Dreher on the second 45. However, the Gray Sounds release lists Dreher as co-writing “I’m Trying” while the Sound of Soul release gives him co-credit on “Blacked Out Mind”. BMI lists him on both songs along with Monetti, and drops Catena altogether! Obviously someone screwed up the credits somewhere along the way. To make things still more confusing, the labels are reversed on my copy!
Anyone have a photo of the group or scans of the CBM or Sound of Soul labels?
There’s an interesting story behind this record by the Statesiders. The band, better known as first the Redcoats and then the Sidekicks, almost hit the big time until managerial difficulties crashed their plans.
John Sprit was the creative force behind the group. He had been in the Randells, charting with “The Martian Hop” in 1963, a record produced by John’s cousin Steven Rappaport. John Sprit decided to form a band in imitation of the Beatles, based around his songwriting. With Steven as manager and producer, John on drums and his friend Mike Burke on lead guitar, they spotted Zach and Randy Bocelle of Absecon, NJ at an audition, and brought them in to fill the ‘roles’ of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, respectively, on rhythm guitar, bass and lead vocals.
After intensive rehearsals in John Sprit’s family home in Wildwood, NJ, the Redcoats signed with Laurie for a 45 in the style of Herman’s Hermits, “The Dum Dum Song” / “Love Unreturned”, which did fairly well on a local level. It was released in October, 1965.
Prior to “The Dum Dum Song”, the Laurie subsidiary, Providence released a single by the Statesiders “She Belonged to Another” / “Patterned the Same” in the first half of 1965. The Statesiders name is an oblique reference to their being the US counterpart of the Beatles / Redcoats. The single was produced by Steve Rappaport and both songs were written by Carnaby & Shakespeare: pseudonyms for John Spirt and Michael Burke according to the BMI database. The songs have enough originality to overcome the Beatles influence, and are more than competently performed by the group.
Zach Bocelle doesn’t mention the Statesiders or either song title in his long history of the group. It’s possible the songs were recorded prior to Zach and Randy joining the band. The songs are also not included on the collection of the Redcoats’ recordings for Laurie Meet The Redcoats…Finally released by Dionysus in 2001. But I think it likely that most of the band played on this record, making it a forgotten part of pre-Redcoats history.
Things were looking up for the band when Steve Rappaport left for Europe during the summer of ’66. Looking to record more original songs on their own terms, they found a manager and investor in a wealthy woman from Philadelphia who financed their next demos.
An original of John’s, “Suspicions” caught the ear of RCA, who renamed the band the Sidekicks and re-recorded the song with a full orchestra. Released in the spring of 1966, “Suspicions” was a fair-sized national hit, and the band soon followed up with an LP of mostly very pop-oriented material.
Within a year, though, their new manager’s shameless exploitation alienated both the group and RCA, and the bitterness of the experience led John Sprit to quit the business altogether.
Thanks to Euphonic for his comment below with the approximate release date and Laurie ownership of Providence – I’ve revised this post to reflect that new info. Thanks also to Mike Markesich for the release date of the Laurie 45.

The Bucaneer’s (or Bucaneers) had this one release, a great two-sider from 1966 on the Amigo label out of Philadelphia, PA. Both sides are well-written and performed.
The Yorkshire Puddin cut two 45s on Dellwood Records in ’67 and ’68. Their first 45 is the fine “Good Night Day” backed with “Ain’t Gonna Love Ya No More”. They updated their sound for the second release, “Keep Me In Mind”.
