Letting all fans know. the following is from a New Jersey paper. " The group produced three gold records, starting in 1968 with the first single release "Simon Says," "1-2-3 Red Light" and "Indian Giver." The 1910 Fruitgum Company was reunited in 2001 by the originators of the group, Frank Jeckell, and Mick Mansueto."

Mansueto is not an originator of the group. You can use your imagination as to why this has been added to the band bio.

Sincerely,

F Marcus (Original drummer and member)

I realize I've crunched things a bit, but I wanted to make sure I put out the meat and potatoes. The Jeckell & Hyde I just found out was Jeckell & The Hydes.

[djhot1]

I , Pat, Steve, Mark and Jeckell formed Jeckell and the Hydes which became The Odyssey.

The Trade Winds had a song called "Little Susan's Dream (LSD)" and had Jimmy Calvert in them. They did record some tracks for Super K.

Pat is Pat Karwin and lives in Toms River now.

There were two main drummers. When I (Floyd Marcus original member) left, the band was already into it's second year and 4th release. After me, Rusty Oppenheimer came in. Unfortunately, there have been many claims by many people who have said they've played with our or other bands to have their 15 minutes of fame. Unfortunately they may have

sat in, or played with a "illegitimate" version of a band. Sorry! Never heard of him.

Okay I have more info. Mark Gutkowski singer & keyboard player would remember My friend Mike Ilnicki who came in after Floyd Marcus, Mike also knew Ted Gutkowski Mark's brother.... Rusty Openheimer replaced my friend Mike on the drums. The studio musicians were called the Trade winds and recording was done at Alegro Studios.

The band first was called Jeckel & Hyde from Frank Jeckel rhtm. gtr.

When I left the group, Jeff Katz asked If i would come in and record with the band on the next album. The drummer taking my place was Rusty. There was no time between my leaving and when Rusty came in. If there was a Mike llnicki he was either there a very very short time between me and Rusty, or he came in at the end when they added the horns. "The train" was at the very end and not a hit.

@djhot1 Whatever happened to Mark? Where is he and what is he doing? Are there any bad feelings between him and the rest of you?
