Most underrated band ever...One of my favourite...Unique style...'tuesday inNY' probably my favourite album but it's difficult to choose among their masterpieces...so sad they are not recognized as they should...
I first heard this in 1970 or 1971 on The Harvest Bag, a compilation album, and I've been looking for it for ages. I love this song. Just a slight correction, they didn't come to notoriety. Notoriety is 'the state of being known for some unfavorable act or quality', i.e. being known for being bad. They came to fame, although not enough of it.
God, he didn't know he passed, either. I envy you- I never saw them live, though I remember being hypnotized by them when I first heard them. I can't recall- it was either an album or a live broadcast WNEW did here in New York.
What an elegant but moving musician he Johnny Almond was.

I love the groove Tommy Eyre and Roger Sutton create during the sax solo despite the lack of a drummer, great players.
