There were essentially three Reddy Teddy line-ups during the six-year history of the band from 1972 to 1978. Two of which occurred twice. Reddy Teddy was originally composed of four musicians. Lead guitarist, Matthew MacKenzie and lead vocalist, John Morse remained members of the band from the beginning in 1972. Bass player, Ted von Rosenvinge left the band in 1973 and was replaced by Scott Baerenwald. Drummer Joe Marino left the band in 1974 and was replaced by Douglas Orilio/aka Bug Witt. Bug was later replaced by Joe Marino who rejoined the band in 1977.

"Kilsyth Manor" was a 7 bedroom Victorian on the Brookline/Brighton line. More has been forgotten than has been remembered about the Kilsyth days, nevertheless, anyone who set foot in this residence has memories of one house party or another. At these affairs it was not uncommon to spot members of Aerosmith, Willie Alexander, and other notorious rock'n'rollers of the era.
In January of 1974, Mercury reissued its album offer, with Michael Brown as producer (creator of the band Left Banke, and author of the renowned single, "Don¹t Walk Away Renee". The band accepted and spent February living in New York, and recording at the studios on West 57th. However, Mercury decided not to release the album, citing the oil/vinyl shortage. After threatening the company with a law suit, the band settled for monetary compensation and the return of their 2-inch masters. Joe decided he had had enough and left for Florida forfeiting the drum slot to Bug Witt of Utica, NY.
That summer, Reddy Teddy went back into Aengus with the masters of "Goo Goo Eyes" and "Novelty Shoes". They were remixed and released and Reddy Teddy became the first of a wave of Boston rock bands to release a single on local label Flexible Records. The singles won favorable reviews, with airplay on WBCN and WBZ FM. By 1975 the band was firmly established as a hometown favorite in a genre of club, the premier ones being; Kenmore Square¹s heralded, The Rat and The Club a chair-tossing venue in Cambridge's Central Square.
In 1976, the band joined the roster of local label, Spoonfed Records and with WBCN DJ Maxanne Sartori and Willie Alexander assisting with production, an album was recorded that summer at Northern Studios in Maynard, Massachusetts. In December the band opened for Patti Smith at Boston's Orpheum Theatre and in 1977, former Rolling Stones manager, Andrew Loog Oldham, began managing the band. At which time, he scheduled a few showcase gigs in two New York clubs, Max's Kansas City and The Bottom Line.
The record received favorable reviews. Playboy touted the band as; "...possibly the best new American band, period". However, even with this rejuvenated interest, the sales figures remained low. By February of 1977, the parties had taken their toll on both the house and its occupants and the band vacated Kilsyth. Bug left the band and Joe returned to reclaim the drums for the final year. Their last gig was in the spring of 1978, opening for Van Halen at The Paradise.
