One of the best english R&B; Psych Bands, harder & better players like the STONES.
Released album S.F.SORROW in 1968 very great psych concept Rock album which influenced the WHO & KINKS too.
The album "PARACHUTE" was named as best album in 1970 by the famous ROLLING STONE magazine.
Comeback in the end 70s with a punk album to the right time, but like so often with them ..the success was omited
My alltime fave band!!!
