Baltimore quintet the peppermint rainbow scored an US top 10 hit in 1969 with the super-groovy ‘Will You Be Staying After Sunday’. Produced by ‘Green Tambourine’ hit maker Paul Leka, the album that followed featured 10 more slices of juicy bubblegum pop including a second top 10 smash, ‘Don’t Wake Me Up In The Morning, Michael’. The band cut two further singles – both added here – but by late ’69 it was all over as the sound of love faded from the airwaves. |
