The Tuneful Trolley
The Tuneful Trolley was an American psych-pop sextet from the late 1960s. Originally a high school band called "The Mark of Quality" from Suffolk County, Long Island, they were discovered and renamed by Sandy Yaguda of Jay and the Americans.[1] Yaguda helped the band sign with Capitol Records and produced their first and only album, Island in the Sky.
