Along with the Remains and the Rockin' Ramrods, the Lost were the most celebrated Boston band of the mid-'60s. Unlike those other two groups, who at least were able to release a fair number of tracks and experience some lingering regional success, the Lost indeed appeared lost to the ages, managing only to release three rare Capitol singles during their time together. Despite the high reputation that they continue to enjoy to this day among Boston dwellers, the Lost were not as talented as the Remains. They were a somewhat above-average garage band, more versatile and perhaps more folk-rock influenced than most, with the occasional bit of material ("Kaleidoscope," "It Is I") that hinted at some interesting lyrical and melodic ideas.
