about

For a brief period in 1964, the soon-to-be members of cult British rock group Glowhoney were managed by svengali producer/impresario Lennie Loesser. Against the wishes of the boys, Loesser insisted they jump on the Beatles’ Mersey-sound bandwagon and call themselves The Topp Shelf. Their sole output in this guise was this three-track EP, recorded and mixed in a single chaotic evening, and released on Loesser's own Less Music label. It sank without trace as, ultimately, did Loesser himself. Only a year after this release he was convicted and imprisoned for his part in a Green Shield Stamps counterfeiting ring.


The EP has been remastered by Atticadia Sound from the original mono 4-track recordings.
