Produced by Ken Mansfield, this Oregon group mixed two fluid electric guitars with vocal harmonies a la CSN&Y. The musicianship is competent and all their material was original but is not strong enough to retain attention. The album was pressed on two one-sided discs to allow continuous play on an automatic record changer! The band had another album, a private pressing from about the same time. The album has a gatefold cover picturing a sandwich covered in sand, with 2-one sided LPs (apparently the idea was to put both disks on a stackable turntable and play one after the other:"freeflowing Sand") - just before the 70s energy crisis made the LP expensive to produce. The band was from Portland Oregon, and included Jack Meussdorffer (aka Jack Charles, guitar/vocals), Dan Ross (steel guitar/guitar/vocals), Dan Wilson (guitar/vocals), Rich Gooch (bass/vocals), and Steve Williams (drums). Meussdorffer and Gooch later played in Quarterflash (with the hit "Harden My Heart").
