The Long Island Sounds came from Branford and East Haven Connecticut. They achieved a fine surf sound on their two singles on Wonder Records 165 and 166.

Their first single was “Tiger” / “Lucky Guy”, followed by “Don’t Cry Linda” / “(Ballad of) Marvin Crump”.

Members were:

Fred O’Brien – lead vocals
Tony Pragano – harmony vocals
Angelo Frisketti – lead guitar
Tom Hanlon – guitar and harmony vocals
Bobby Pasternak – keyboards
Jack Russell – drums

Fred O’Brien wrote all their songs, published by Checkmark Music, owned by Arthur Czech, which also published the North Atlantic Invasion Force “Blue and Green Gown” / “Fire, Wind and Rain” among others.

“BRS” etched into the runout of the second record indicates it was likely recorded at Broadway Recording Studios in New York.

I’ve seen Tony Pragano’s name spelled Pregano, not sure which is correct.

Anyone have a photo of the group?
