It would be the final album of the band’s initial lifespan, with their next album not appearing until 1986.Table of ContentsBackground[edit]Releases[edit]Track listing[edit]Personnel[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Background[edit]  The Left Banke in 1966. The initial line-up fell apart during the album’s making.In between the release of the Left Banke’s debut album Walk Away Renee\/Pretty Ballerina and the making of this album, the original five-piece band had been whittled down to a trio after the departures of songwriter and keyboardist Michael Brown and guitarist Rick Brand.[1]  To replace them, the band brought in guitarist Tom Feher, who had written songs with Brown for the group’s first album.Half of the album, consisted tracks that had been issued as singles in the period since the release of the band’s debut album in February 1967. “Desir\u00e9e”, released as a single in June 1967, barely scraped into the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 98. The band’s next two singles, “Dark is the Bark”, released in the summer of 1968, and “Goodbye Holly” following in November 1968, both failed to chart.  Following the release of the album in November 1968, a fourth and fifth single were issued, “Bryant Hotel” b\/w “Give The Man A Hand” and “Nice To See You” b\/w “There’s Gonna Be A Storm” respectively, but they also failed to chart.Unlike its predecessor, The Left Banke Too contains a wide range of musical styles, including incorporations of psychedelic pop, sunshine pop, rock music,[2] and arrangements influenced by baroque music.[3] For recording, several additional contributions were made, including a pre-Aerosmith Steven Tyler, then known as Steve Tallarico, providing backing vocals to several songs on the album such as “My Friend Today” and “Dark is the Bark”.[4]Releases[edit]The entire album was at one time available on the 1992 compact disc There’s Gonna Be a Storm: The Complete Recordings 1966\u20131969, but that compilation went out of print in the mid-1990s. On June 28, 2011, The Left Banke Too was reissued on Sundazed Records, remastered by Bob Irwin.Track listing[edit]Details are taken from the 1968 Smash Records release and might differ from other releases.[5]Side oneTitleWriter(s)1.“Goodbye Holly”Tom Feher2:422.“There’s Gonna Be a Storm”Tom Finn4:033.“Sing Little Bird Sing”Tom Feher3:044.“Nice to See You”Tom Finn2:395.“Give the Man a Hand”Marvin Potocki2:31Side twoTitleWriter(s)1.“Bryant Hotel”Tom Feher3:222.“Desir\u00e9e”Michael Brown, Tom Feher2:393.“Dark is the Bark”George Cameron, Finn, Steve Martin Caro3:274.“In the Morning Light”Michael Brown, Tom Feher2:475.“My Friend Today”Tom Finn3:03Personnel[edit]The Left BankeAdditional personnelSteve Tallarico \u2014 backing vocals on “Nice to See You”, “Give the Man a Hand”, “Dark is the Bark” & “My Friend Today”, tambourine on “Dark is the Bark”Paul Griffin \u2014 keyboards on “Dark is the Bark”Paul Leka \u2014 string arrangements; piano on “Bryant Hotel”Rick Brand \u2014 banjo on “Bryant Hotel”Hugh McCracken \u2014 guitar on “Desir\u00e9e” & “Dark is the Bark”Ralph Casale \u2014 guitar on “Dark is the Bark”Marvin Potocki \u2014 guitar on “Give the Man a Hand”Chet Amsterdam \u2014 bass on “Dark is the Bark”Joe Mack \u2014 bass on “Desir\u00e9e”Bobby Gregg \u2014 drums on “Desir\u00e9e”Artie Schroek \u2014 vibraphone, drums, string arrangements on “Dark is the Bark”John Abbott \u2014 horn arrangements on “In the Morning Light”Ray Alonge \u2014 french horn on “Dark is the Bark”Ray Desio \u2014 trombone on “Dark is the Bark”Marvin Stamm \u2014 trumpet on “Dark is the Bark”George Young \u2014 woodwinds on “Dark is the Bark”SinglesReferences[edit]External links[edit]"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/the-left-banke-too-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"The Left Banke Too – Wikipedia"}}]}]
