The similarity of the FantasticBaggys [+] material to Jan and Dean [+] in particular should come as no surprise, since Sloan [+] and Barri not only wrote some songs for Jan and Dean [+], but also did some vocals on Jan and Dean [+] records of the era.
The FantasticBaggys [+] did one album for Imperial in 1964, Tell 'Em I'm Surfin', as well as three singles in 1964 and 1965 (which included three non-LP songs); there were also a couple of FantasticBaggys [+] albums issued in South Africa.
The FantasticBaggys stopped making records in 1965, when the surf fad faded and Sloan [+] and Barri were more interested in writing and singing more serious and sophisticated material.
