At the time, Felix had already produced The Youngbloods records for RCA and was in the midst of recording Cream for their upcoming 1967 Disraeli Gears LP. Felix had played bass with The Two Guys on their recordings. It wasn’t long before Eddie and Joe called their friend Felix Pappalardi in New York to come to Boston to hear the group play. The group first performed at The Loft on Charles Street in Boston using the name The Bait Shop. asked Jim Colegrove to join them on bass. When they asked him to join them to make a band he was prompt to say yes. then both recorded and performed with them. had met the Two Guys when they performed in Dayton, Ohio at the local folk club, The Lemon Tree.
