Description
Formed in December 1971, the band was the brainchild of former LOVE AFFAIR vocalist STEVE ELLIS. Teaming up with celebrated keyboard player ZOOT MONEY, the band took a harder rock direction with jazz overtones. The line-up of the band was completed with the addition of guitarist ANDY GEE, drummer DAVE LUTTON (formerly with Heavy Jelly and The Grease Band) and bass player JIM LEVERTON (formerly with FAT MATTRESS and JUICY LUCY).
Championed by former JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE drummer MITCH MITCHELL, the band secured a contract with Epic Records in 1972 and recorded their debut album the same year. Produced by another well-known admirer, ROGER DALTREY, Riding on the Crest of a Slump was an impressive album and contained many fine tracks including the classic El Doomo (later a huge hit for Yugoslavian band Smak in Europe in 1976), the fine Angela and Your Game.
This Esoteric Recordings edition has been remastered from the original Epic master tapes and features a newly expanded booklet that restores the original album artwork and includes a new essay.
