A hard-rock/progressive outfit who formed in 1969 out of Scaffold's backing group. Initially known as The Business, Lee Kerslake had joined from Toe Fat. Their varied album, which was prouced by Eddie Offord, featured a laborious selection of introverted riffs and one song, "Too Much...", which was very Beatle-ish. 

They split in November 1971. Jan Schelhaas was later in The Gary Moore Band and Caravan, whilst Lee Kerslake went on to Uriah Heep.
