This band had originally been session musicians for artists on the DJM label, including a certain Elton John. None of their albums attracted much attention and they split up in 1974. Their final 45 A-side was a cover of The Byrds' ‘So You Want To Be A Rock And Roll Star’. Quaye (who'd earlier recorded as Caleb) moved to the US, where he continued to work as a session musician, and Pope went on to play in Elton John's support band.
Duck, Glover and Pope were in The Soul Agents and The Loot together before forming this band.
