hey, I didn't say anyone had ever heard of them!

The Tony Sheridan stuff has recently been re-released by Time/Life.

yeah, that's been packaged & repackaged a bunch of times. That's where they were credited as the Beat Brothers for some reason.

Plus there are the Decca auditon recordings with Pete Best. They were already The Beatles at that point but I remember an album marketed as "The Silver Beatles: Like Dreamers Do"

ummm...They started out as The Pacesetters, then the New Dapps, which became the JB's.

Left The JB's & became The Houseguest, which merge with Funkadelic, left Funkadelic for a minute & became The Complete Strangers, then back to P-Funk, which spinoff Bootsy's Rubber Band biggrin
