Richards band, The Nomads comprised of Wallis Petruk (tenor sax, leader of the Nomads), Lennie Richards (lead vocalist, guitar), Garry McDonall (trumpet & composer of "Teem Twist"), Bob Clarke (lead guitar, also lead guitarist with Wes Dakus and The Club 93 Rebels, died on Dec. 13, 1998), Orest Urchak (tenor sax), Jack Dakus (bass, brother to Wes Dakus?), Don Paches (drums) and Doug Michetti (piano).                                                                                      

-I could find no information on either Frankie Lee and The Fantasies or Mr 5 by 5.

THE GROUP PERFORMED IN Edmonton DURING THE LOCAL FAIR AT THE TEEM TENT as a promotion for teem softdrink

-Teem Twist No. 1 and Teem Twist No. 2 are a pair teen rockers and the lyrics are about the virtues of Pepsi-Colas' lemon-lime drink Teem. Musically, Teem Twist No. 1 has good vocals from Lennie Richards with good musical backing from The Nomads including hot tenor sax solo from Orest Urchak and understated backing vocals from the band.

-Teem Twist No. 2 with good vocals from Lennie Richards further extolls the virtues of Pepsi-Colas' Teem drink with horns, bass, drums and sizzling guitar solo from lead guitarist Bob Clarke.

-Artist/Group (Side two): Frankie Lee and The Fantasies: Peppermint Twist

-Peppermint Twist is a terrific version of the Joey Dee classic which follolws the original pretty closely with good vocals from Frankie Lee, excellent backing vocals , good keyboards, nice guitar work including a hot solo, with percolating drums and bass.

-Slow Twistin' is an amazing mid-tempo soul-rocker with great call and response between the uncredited male and female singers, with understated backing vocalists, simple musical accompaniment including a soulful sax solo (Orest Urchak?), this song might have been a hit if released on its own merits.

-Ultra-rare Canadian only release and a nice find for the collector of early Canadian rock & roll also for collectors of Pepsi-Cola memorabilia.

Grading is based on the following criteria

Mint = store stock new

Near Mint - = near new with only one or two small insignificant defects

Excellent = extremely nice. Would be Near Mint, except for A couple light hairlines or scuffs, which do not affect play

VG++ = extremely nice.  a few  light hairline scratches or scuffs, which do not affect play

VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.

VG = a well-used record that still sounds OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.

VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along.
