THE BEAU-MARKS WERE A CANADIAN ROCK'N'ROLL BAND FORMED IN 1958 IN MONTREAL, QUEBEC. THEIR FIRST RELEASE, "ROCKIN' BLUES" B/W "MOONLIGHT PARTY" (INCLUDED ON THIS ALBUM), CAME OUT UNDER THE NAME THE DEL-TONES, BUT THE GROUP CHANGED THEIR NAME SOON AFTERWARD IN A NOD TO THE BOMARC MISSILE. THEIR BREAKTHROUGH HIT WAS "CLAP YOUR HANDS" WHICH HIT #1 IN CANADA AND AUSTRALIA, PEAKED AT #45 ON THE U.S. BILLBOARD POP CHARTS AND #40 ON CASHBOX. THEIR DEBUT FULL-LENGTH LP CAME OUT IN 1960. THEY ALSO APPEARED ON AMERICAN BANDSTAND AND AT A CHARITY CONCERT AT CARNEGIE HALL SOON AFTERWARDS. TWO MORE ALBUMS FOLLOWED BEFORE THE GROUP BROKE UP IN 1963. THE BEAU-MARKS WERE THE FIRST CANADIAN BAND TO BE HEADLINERS AT THE PEPPERMINT LOUNGE IN NEW YORK CITY AND TO BE INVITED TO APPEAR ON THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW.

THERE ARE TWO MARKS ON THE FRONT COVER WHERE SMALL STICKERS HAD BEEN PLACED AND HAVE BEEN REMOVED WITHOUT DAMAGING THE COVER. THE RECORD IS VIRTUALLY MINT CONDITION BUT HAS A VERY SMALL GREEN ROUND STICKER ON THE LABEL.
