Bass – Colin Hodgkinson Drums – Tony Hicks Saxophone, Flute – Ron Aspery
below is part of an interview Colin Hogkinson gave in 2002 where he talks about the album "In 1969 my pal Ron Aspery and I were working in Eric Delaney's band on a sixteen week summer season at the Winter Gardens in Bournemouth. As well as doing a band feature we also played for everyone else on the show. Needless to say we soon got bored playing the same thing every night. So in the afternoons, when the theatre was empty, we took our instruments and Ron's little Grundig tape recorder and just played as a duo for a few hours. What came out of these sessions were tunes like Vienna Breakdown and Human Bed. At the end of September we left the band and moved to London, working at a Mecca ballroom at night. Ron started to pick up quite a few sessions and I joined Alexis Korner's band. Things were starting to go pretty well for us, but at the same time Ron and I wanted to spend a couple of years putting all our efforts into our own group. So we moved up to Redcar, where we'd first met as the house band in the Starlight club, and worked on the Back Door project during the day. After trying a couple of drummers, Tony Hicks joined us and we knew we had the perfect line-up. During the next year or so we sent out loads of demos to all the major record companies, but were turned down every time. 'No guitarist, no lead singer, no organ, get outta here!'' Around this time we were playing a regular Tuesday night gig at the Lion Inn, on Blakey Ridge, a really remote part of the North Yorkshire moors. After a few months the place was really packed and Brian Jones, the landlord, who loved the band, said he would put up the money for us to record an album. With about £500 we recorded twelve tracks in eight hours at a little demo studio and mixed it all in four hours the next day. We had a few hundred copies pressed by RCA and had a local journalist do the sleeve notes and photos. We sold quite a few copies locally and then one found its way to the NME offices in London. Charles Shaar Murray gave us a tremendous review and things started to move really quickly. We were invited to appear alongside Chick Corea's Return to Forever at Ronnie Scott's club for three weeks. During this time all the record companies who had originally turned us down now asked us to sign with them! We eventually signed with Warner Brothers and over the next four years we released four albums."
The grading standard used is the UK Record Collector magazine gradings
Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.??
Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.??
Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
Good : “The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc…” 841 (GS 7.0.16 (841))
