Catchy Californian pop group The Beau Brummels achieved their only real commercial success with their debut LP Introducing. Contains the US top twenty hit singles Just A Little and Laugh Laugh. (US:24)

"San Francisco's answer to the British Invasion, The Beau Brummels could write a catchy hook or a fine set of harmonies with the best of them. Ten of the songs included here on their first are Ron Elliot originals."

"The Beau Brummels' 1965 debut, with a sound hinting at jangle pop, folk rock, and proto-psychedelia, is a cosy slice of 1960's musical Americana. The San Francisco quintet borrowed much in style and structure from British Invasion bands, and their music compares favourably with many of their English contemporaries."

"Elliot's songs, whether upbeat rockers such as Stick Like Glue or moody, minor key numbers such as I'll Make You Cry, are powered by finely honed melodic hooks. The group's soaring, complex harmonies and expansive feel seem to foreshadow both the folk rock of The Byrds and the San Francisco sound of the late '60s."

"The Beau Brummels were a terribly under appreciated band. This, their first album, should've been a much larger hit for them, as it is full of great music from start to finish. For anyone interested in the music of the sixties, this is an important album."

"The Beau Brummels were the sort of band that deserved far more success than some others. This LP is brilliant, just listen and wonder how Autumn records went under with such quality aboard. Buy this, you will not be disappointed."

"These guys are a revelation every time I listen to them. Let's add it up - the first US band to respond to the British Invasion, great songs, great harmony, surprisingly strong instrumental support - I think we have a winner."

"The Beau Brummels' 1965 debut album contains the band's two biggest hit-singles Laugh Laugh and Just A Little, both of which are still great listening."
