These are good corrections to the book’s entries. Their listings have proven wrong in many instances. Thanks.
[Edit: Additional info found 01/23/21 adjusts the post.]
The Royal Teens group on Muscor is not related to The Royal Teens of “Short Shorts” fame.
The Four Seasons UK Appreciation Society characterizes this group as “Pseudo Royal Teens”.

They were a Revival Group and had an album on Musicor.

Thanks for your help pointing out the Musicor group. It is a good find!
[Edit: On the back cover of the LP, there are photos of the ‘old’ and ‘new’ group makeups, without member listings.]
