While bands like The Byrds, and The Beatles were experimenting with different ways to use string instruments, The Left Banke incorporated a harpsichord, small strings section, and woodwinds section, giving them their signature, and much copied, Baroque-n-roll sound.This sound mixed with vocal harmonies similar to The Beatles or The Zombies, earned them two hits early in their career with "Walk Away Renee" and "Pretty Ballerina". Michael Brown, who played keyboards for the band, and wrote most of the songs on this album was only 17 years old at the time of it's release. His father, Henry Lookofsky, produced and arranged the album.
