Hands-down thee rarest artifact issued on the Chattahoochee label, only one copy of the End Result 45 reportedly exists today - hardly worthy of a final epitaph to denote this killer 2-sider from a group based in Van Nuys, California. Rich Golden (drums), Jim Hungerford (bass), John Nicholson (guitar) and Jim Kaplan (keyboards) had been gigging for several years beforehand as the Periscopes, with a raucous, frat-rock 45 to their legacy issued in December, 1964: "Happy To Be" / "Beavershot". By the time of the August, 1966 Chattahooche label release, the group had updated their moniker and sound to mirror the happening muscial vibe heard 'round L.A.'s Sunset Strip.
