After the two Tower albums from the first US Incarnation of THEM, Jim Armstrong and Kenny McDonald went back
home to Irland. Short time later in 1969 they followed a call from Scott Doneen to give USA a 2nd change with a new Rhythm Section. After rehearsing and writing new own material they started doing gigs with The Buckinghams, The Rascals and Charly Musselwhite blowing most of them away from the stage.
A deal with EPIC did take no fruits, because the guy who signed them was no longer with the company.
So after a long search from Van Morrison fans, the recorded tracks first got released 1995 on CD
on EPILOGUE Records owned by John Berg & Neal Skog.
Who saw Jim Armstrong live will agree with me what great special guitar player he is...Jim sold his guitar to
PEARL JAM when leaving the states.
