new drummer who didn’t have the same feel that Chip had. I mean he was a fine drummer but it wasn’t the same band. I just felt like the flame was burning down without our original drummer." The band broke up in late 1966, and Epic released their self-titled debut album to little fanfare. On March 16, 1969, the Remains' original lineup reunited for a one-off performance at the Boston Tea Party. A recording of that live performance was lost for more than 40 years. Following its discovery, Sundazed Records released Live 1969 on January 12, 2018 featuring nine songs from that night, all but one of which were cover tunes. Of the live recording, Tashian said, "There’s nothing else in the Remains world as wild as this one. We were on fire... on the brink..." Resurgence In common with many of their garage rock contemporaries, the Remains gradually acquired cult status, and eventually reformed to play at several garage revival shows, such as Cavestomp in New York City in 1998, Las Vegas Grind in 2000 and a tour of major European cities in 2006.

A later box set version of the album also includes the Remains' first single, "Why Do I Cry" "Why Do I Cry" is featured briefly in the film Superbad (2007), when the character McLovin is being taken to a party in a police car. In 2007, Epic/Legacy reissued the Remains' 1966 album, which was reviewed by rock journalist Mark Kemp in Paste magazine (June 2007): "Had these Boston bad boys stuck it out beyond their 1966 debut, we might today be calling them—and not the Stones—the World's Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band. As it is, the Remains most certainly are America's greatest lost band." Kemp's praise echoed the critique written 40 years earlier by rock critic (and subsequent Bruce Springsteen manager) Jon Landau, in Crawdaddy! magazine (January 1967): "They were how you
