Formed in 1963 and part of the burgeoning Quebecois garage scene of that time, Donald et les Aristos carved out a nice string of singles until disbanding in 1968. They went through a few name changes (Les Aristos, The Aristocrats, Motions) but consistently released catchy rock music heavily influenced by the British Invasion. They were contemporaries of other St. Hyacinthe bands like Les Hou-Lops & Les Sultans Both tracks on this stellar 7" remind me a lot of early Beatles, The Dave Clark Five and the like. "Les Fleurs De Mandarine" is especially hook-filled.
