The Left Banke Too was the second studio LP by the 1960s baroque rock band The Left Banke. It has a curious history; The original five-piece band had been whittled down to a trio, after the departure of lead singer/keyboardist Michael Brown, and guitarist Rick Brand. Half of the album consisted of tracks that had been issued as singles in the two-year period since the release of the band's debut album.

  • The Left Banke Too was the second studio LP by the 1960s baroque rock band The Left Banke. It has a curious history; The original five-piece band had been whittled down to a trio, after the departure of lead singer/keyboardist Michael Brown, and guitarist Rick Brand. Half of the album consisted of tracks that had been issued as singles in the two-year period since the release of the band's debut album. The oldest track, "Desiree", was released as a single in the Autumn of 1967 and just barely scraped into the charts, reaching #98. The next single, "Dark Is The Bark" b/w "My Friend Today" was released in the summer of 1968, followed closely by "Goodbye Holly" b/w "Sing Little Bird Sing". Neither of them charted. When the album was finally released, in February of 1969, the single that accompanied it was "Bryant Hotel" b/w "Nice To See You". It also did not chart. "Goodbye Holly" and "Bryant Hotel" were unique in that they featured lead vocals by drummer George Cameron. A pre-Aerosmith Steven Tyler (then known as Steven Tallarico) contributed backing vocals to several songs on the LP ("Nice to See You", "Give the Man a Hand", and "Dark is the Bark"). With no real hits, the album did not sell well, but it is highly regarded today as a fine example of baroque psychedelic pop.
