There have been a number of Bands with similar (or the same) names, but as far as I can see this was the first.
The label on this 1966 single bears no serial number, however the run-off area reads 7XEP 511-1 and 7XEP 512-1 and both sides also have the KT tax code.
My Little Red Book is a Bacharach-David song, produced by Tommy Ellis and is very much in the beat tradition of the day.
I’m a Kingbee has no writing credit (presumably the Band themselves?). It was recorded on the Sound Stage at the Ardmore Studios in Bray and produced by John Paul Jones, later of Led Zeppelin. Clearly, it was heavily influenced by the early blues style of the Rolling Stones.
