43 years ago this month! We were at Abbey Road for 5 days.

The album was never released because our manager (white shirt on left in
photo) did a runner with the advance of 25,000 pounds sterling we had got
from Warner Bros. Abbey Road never got paid, and held on to the master
tape, and the American tour that had been planned to promote the album
was canceled.

We did record another album, for DJM, which was released in 1975, and
backed a friend on an album for RCA in 1977, but neither sold very well.
Which is in part why I am now the editor of Stereophile. :-)

Edit: For the morbidly curious, I added the AllMusic credits for the 1977
album, Bunk Dogger's "First Offence," which we recorded at Sawmills Studio
in Cornwall, England, later to be made famous by Oasis.
