The band isn't here, unless proven
From the Cheshire and Prospect areas of Connecticut, these guys started out playing classic garage fuzz-punk as demonstrated by ‘To Be Or Not To Be’. They'd progress to a hard rock style, of which the LP is a good example and worth searching out.
There's also a French EP on Discaz 1101 that features the Parrot 45 tracks plus ‘Love And Things’ and ‘Dance All Night’, so perhaps there's another US 45.
The double-CD retroperspective on Collectables comprises one CD by the North Atlantic Invasion Force and one by Yesterday's Children. This contains the complete LP, early/demo versions of the Parrot 45s and several unreleased cuts from 1966 including the couple on that French EP.
Compilation appearances have included: ‘To Be Or Not To Be’ on ‘Psychedelic Unknowns, Vol. 2’ (Dbl 7"); ‘Love And Things’ and ‘Gloria’ on ‘Green Crystal Ties Vol. 3’ (CD); ‘Love And Things’ on ‘It's A Hard Life’ (LP); ‘A Well Respected Man’ and ‘Anyway You Want It’ on ‘I Wanna Come Back From The World Of LSD’ (CD); ‘Love And Things’, ‘To Be Or Not To Be’ (two versions), ‘Gloria’, ‘Dance All Night’ (two versions), ‘Baby I Want You’, ‘Laugh At Me’, ‘Paranoia’, ‘Sad Born Loser’, ‘What If I’, ‘She's Easy’, ‘Sailing’, ‘Providence Bummer’, ‘Evil Woman’, ‘Hunter's Moon’ on ‘The History Of Connecticut Garage Bands In The 60s’ (Dbl CD).
