This superb organ-driven blues-rock band formed in 1964 in Newcastle, where their local success rivaled that of the Animals. Having gigged widely and with several singles under their belt, their sole album was recorded in London in 1969. Produced by Fritz Fryer (who also worked with the Open Mind, Harsh Reality, Steamhammer and others), it's a superb set of soul-tinged prog, featuring a number of fine originals by leader Bob Sergeant, as well as covers of numbers by Joe Cocker and Earth Opera. Unfortunately it wasn't released until the start of 1971, by which time they already had split. Now on CD at last!
