The Peppermint Trolley Company's name was originally proposed by Jimmy Faragher and chosen by a committee of the Mark V band members. The single ''Lollipop Train'' was released (with B-side ''Bored to Tears'') on Valiant Records.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Biography of the Peppermint Trolley Company )〕 In January 1967 the band broke up, leaving brothers Danny and Jimmy Faragher as the sole members. Recording continued and a deal was signed with Acta Records. The single ''She's the Kind of Girl'' was released in the spring of 1967. Casey Cunningham (drums) joined the band that June. The single ''It's a Lazy Summer Day'' was released the same month. Patrick McClure (guitar) joined shortly thereafter. In the fall of 1967, Patrick McClure left the band and was replaced by Greg Tornquist (guitar). In November, recording began for ''Baby You Come Rollin' Across My Mind'', which was subsequently released in January 1968 and peaked on the charts at #59 that summer. The single ''Trust'', written by Paul Williams and Roger Nichols, was released in September 1968, and the self-titled album ''The Peppermint Trolley Company'' was released that same month. While the album failed to chart, according to the liner notes of the 2009 reissue, "it sold well in many markets and can be easily found 40 years later, implying good distribution and multiple pressings." In January 1969, The Peppermint Trolley Company left Acta Records and changed its name to Bones, going on to record two albums for Signpost Records and MCA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Biography of Bones, the Rock Band )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peppermint Trolley Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
