The Lemon Drops formed in the Chicago, Illinois suburb of McHenry in 1966. Despite its repetitive lyrics the band's only 7" I Live In The Springtime, has a strong enough melody to suggest that better things could have laid ahead... but as it turned out, none of their other 1967-68 recording sessions were released on record until the mid-eighties. Ricky Erickson (ex-The Nuchez) was brought in to do guitar on the 7" after the band's original guitarist (George Sorenson) had quit prior to the recording.
