The only album by a London-based band. Guitarist Steve Radford formed the band in 1967, recruiting musicians through an advert in Melody Maker. They played in London under the name "Union Blues," but changed their name before recording in the studio. After the release of the album, which failed to gain widespread acclaim, the band disbanded. The album is an unconventional work, difficult to define due to the various combinations of musical styles. The dominant theme is jazz-blues-rock, tinged with psychedelia.
