Promotion Text
Follow up to their first album, produced by blues producer legend Mike Vernon
Steve Ellis: "Roger Daltrey's role was taken by Mike Vernon for 'Why Not?'. That's got three/four good tracks but the rest didn't work out. We did a blues, which is unbelievable - about eight minutes long. Mike's very business-like. I knew him in the early days and thought he'd be good to work with. But he was matter-of-fact, very formal - 'right, time to go'. Bad chemistry. We didn't seem to get the backing from CBS we thought we deserved. I wrote this single, 'El Doomo', and the head of CBS was going to sue the charts because it got to No. 50 in 1974 and didn't budge for three weeks."Personnel: Steve Ellis - vocals Andy Gee - guitar Dave Lutton - drums Nick South - bass Zoot Money - keyboards, guitar, vocals -------------------------------------------- Guests:Colin Allen - percussion, drums Maggie Nichols, Julie Tippett - vocals Boz Burrell, Mike Patto, Roger Chapman - vocals Produced by Mike Vernon with Ellis
