26 APRIL 1966
The Spoonful's John Sebastian and guitarist Zal Yanovsky had previously been in a band called the Mugwamps, along with Cass Elliot and Denny Doherty, who by this time were one half of The Mamas and The Papas and were about to emerge as one the outstanding breakthrough acts of 1966.
Cass had actually recorded an excellent version of 'Didn't Want To Have To Do It' as a guest of the Spoonful in 1965.
