The group’s follow up to their #73 charting “Mr. Lonely”. It didn’t chart and after a few more releases Pete and Vini headed off to West coast to work with Phil Spector. While there, they wrote “Do I Love You” and “The Best Part Of Breaking Up” for the Ronettes.
They returned to New York, put together a group called the Trade Winds and had a couple of his with “New York’s A Lonely Town” (1965 #32) and “Mind Excursion” (1966, #51). They formed another group while at Kama Sutra Records, the Innocence and charted with “There’s Got To Be A Word” and “Mairzy Doats”, both in 1967.
“Now That Summer Is Here” was revived by the Mystics in 1982.
Sadly we lost Pete Anders this week. R. I. P. Peter - and thanks for the music.

Man I listened to this song all the time when I was in cdl class in the summer such a marvelous joy that I miss.
Great!!!
Finally found this! Thanks, remember this song. Was 16!
This was a hit on WMCA in New York in late July,1960. Flip side "She`s Not Coming Home" is a beautiful ballad.
Great group and great 45! This group should have had better success.
A much better record than "Mister Lonely" which charted for them in 1960, however, inexplicably this one didn't crack Billboard. A travesty!
