On their first release - "Girl in Zanzibar", Arnie Ginsberg, of Jan and Arnie, and a label mate on Arwin, is reportedly on the recording.

This version was recorded by a band that came fron Swanley in England. "Gone" was recorded together the other side "This Is Paradise" and produced by Kim Fowley in London in 1964. Only the five band members and P J Proby were on the recording. The band that recorded Girl in Zanzibar is a different band altogether.

Hi Irene, did your daughter find any info or pictures? The reason I ask is my father played drums for the Rituals for a short time including a gig at the 2I's coffee bar in Soho.
