I notice that RKR has the Gaylads and Gaylads (Later Group) (aka Psalms) as two separate acts. Surely they should be shown as one act, as Maurice Roberts was a consistent member throughout.
The current Gaylads line up comprises members from both versions of the group (BB, Maurice and Randall Thaxter).

it's arbitrary but I've used that 'second group'designation when a cardinal member leaves a group, same way when Naggo Morris replaced Leroy Sibbles.....makes less sense on the online format, but in the master Excel sheet this allows me to sort more easily

I hear what you're saying Mike, but my understanding is that the line up of Maurice Roberts and the Thaxter Brothers was in place from as early as 1971/2. Many of their recordings are listed on RKR as being by the original Gaylads. They remained 'the Gaylads' for at least ten years.
The group's history is pretty complex, but to me they are effectively the same group. Further to Mick's comment, Delano Stewart leaving the group (c.1968/9) didn't have a major impact; if you wanted a date to split the 'old' and 'new' Gaylads, it would probably need to be 1971/72, when B.B. first left the group.
