The Minets were originally from Surrey UK. The popularity of the Beatles and other English groups dominated the Billboard charts. The band traveled to Boston and were instantly popular. They recorded two 45's. Their first record, which I feature for you today was released on the Rock It label in 1964..The group released their final 45 in 1965 as the Minets of England.

Eugene and the Travells what a great 45.
Hi Philo, glad you enjoyed some these obscure 45's. The Eugene and the Travells 45 I found at a flea market for $1. I didn't know much about the group, but when I got home and played it, I was floored. Thank you for you comments.
ReplyDeleteI have pictures of the band The Minets from 1964 and 1965 if anyone is interested. Also 5 copies of "My Love is Your" their next single.

I believe they played Boston Arena sept 12 1964, the same night The Beatles played Boston Garden. In the weeks leading up, radio ads pitched them as an alternative for disappointed Beatles fans who couldn’t get tix. Ad featured snipet of Secret of Love
ReplyDeleteI found a copy of the Rock It single recently and love it, especially "Together," which has a haunting quality. I'm glad to have some information about this obscure but solid group. Thank you!
