The Beau Brummels | Just Wait And See | (Autumn) 1965 | The Beau Brummels are the first American group to successfully interpret the so called “English Sound” that has so dominated the American record market for the past year.
It seems only fair that some American group should come along who can perform well in this particular area since the British groups admit that they derive their sound and styles from the American groups that were popular in the late fifties.
Four of the five Beau Brummels, lead guitarist, Ron Elliott; singer, Sal Valentino; bass guitarist, Ron Meagher, and drummer, John Petersen, hail from the San Francisco Area. The fifth, rhythm guitarist, Dec Mulligan, came to the Bay Area a year and a half ago from his home in County Tipperary, Ireland.
Together now just seven months, the boys who are all enthusiastic fans of The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Searchers, and other top English groups, originally patterned their overall style after the English sound.
After working together in San Francisco night clubs where they have consistently played to S. R. 0. crowds, they have evolved a style that while derivative from the British groups is nonetheless distinctively their own.
Much of this can be attributed to the brilliant original material written and arranged for them by Ron Elliott. Unlike many of the other groups springing up around the country, The Beau Brummels are skilled musicians and fine singers.
Listen to the 12 songs in this album, ten of which are originals. From here on out you will always be able to recognize the distinctive sound of The Beau Brummels!
