THE REMAINS
Heart
(Petula Clark - Georges Aber - Tony Hatch)
USA 1966

Boston band formed with fellow university students by Barry Tashian after he visited England and experienced 60s Britpop first hand. The Remains moved to New York, appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show and Hullabaloo, and toured with The Beatles in '66, but never had a national hit. Barry Tashian published a book, Ticket To Ride: The Extraordinary Diary of the Beatles' Last Tour, available through the official Remains website.

See the Remains page at the Ready Steady Go site, which includes an interview with Barry Tashian. See also Diddy Wah Diddy by Running, Jumping, Standing Still.

Not to be confused with The Re-mains, that fine Australian country rock band formed in 2002.
