6 Tickets to Shangri-La and The Ides of Love each had one 45 on Talmu Records. The groups sound alike, and all four songs were written by the team of Ed Malinowski and Tom Flynn.

6 Tickets to Shangri-La released “Lovely People” / “I’ve Got To Find A Way” on Talmu 311 in February, 1968, with Leroy Kirkland arranging and Fred Giachino producing.

The Ides of Love released “Hey Mister Wise Man” / “Something So Pretty” in November on TAL 314, this time with Joe Cain producing and supervising.

Cash Box reviewed both 45s.

I cannot find copyright registration for any of these songs, but Talmu and Giachino registered two other Flynn/Malinowski songs in January, 1968: “Objection Overruled” and “She’ll Make Me Happy”. I suppose a demo of these should exist somewhere, and it would be good to hear them.

Talmu Records had a New York City address.

I’d appreciate any further info on Tom Flynn and Ed Malinowski’s musical careers.
