Founded in 1970, GNP originally consisted of four students from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design (Rutstein on keyboard and guitar, Tom Dempsey on trumpet, Joe Botti on drums, and Doug Stevens on vocals, who performed under the pseudonym Matt Maverick) and three more from Salem State College (Artie Johnson on bass, Tony Bartolini on saxophone, and John Press on guitar). Brought together by a shared love for “the Beatles, raunchy comedy, and quick ways to get women,” the septet honed its skills at the legendary Unicorn Coffee House on Bolyston Street.

Metromedia Records eventually came calling as well as legendary songwriter and producer George “Shadow” Morton, best known for his work with 1960s girl group the Shangri-Las. The result was 1972’s P-Flaps and Low Blows, an album that’s soaring yet silly, bawdy yet batty. GNP dabbles in glam rock, Vaudeville, and lounge—sometimes all in one song.
