Personnel:
Clive Blenkhorn - Guitar, Vocals
Smith Campbell - Bass
Roger Clarke - Guitar, Steel Guitar
Johnnie Miles - Drums

Album:
Earth Harmony (Vertigo 6360 064) 1972

Since 2005, this album has rocketed in value. The obscute London four-piece bagged a residency at the Thomas A. Becket public house in the Old Kent Road. A decent twin-guitar band, Wishbone Ash and Little Feat influences come across on some very good tracks. Bassist Smith Campbell went on to Clear Blue Sky and Roger Clarke formed Sailing Shoes.
