The Henchmen - from Australia - also covered Come On Down To My Boat

UK Pop-Psych Duo Sundragon also covered Green Tambourine and had a minor hit with it.
 
This is interesting, thanks.

One nitpick note - Midnight Confessions was recorded first by Evergreen Blues. They were produced by MC songwriter Lou Josie. Still a US band, though. Also, Rare Breed was the original of "Come on Down To My Boat".

Also, I think "Thats When Happiness Begins" was done first by the Grains of Sand before the Montanas

Thanks, it's sometimes hard to figure out who got it first with all the songs written by songwriters rather than band members.
 
Love by the Bad Boys is an original, written by member / guitarist Gary St. Clair.

Hanky Panky was 1st recorded by the Summits on the Hanover label. This pre-dates the release by the Raindrops
